Not even style, much less substance

Rating: 5/10 (5 July 2000)

I enjoy watching Woo movies but if I see one more shot of the hero hurtling through space in slow motion, clicking off 5 rounds as he spins gracefully in a 360 degree arc, hitting all his unfortunate targets, I'll cry. This is no longer style--a trademark--it has become a gimmick. When in doubt, spin.
Doesn't matter if it's Travolta or Cruise, it's become predictable, just like the movie: when in doubt, peel a rubber face off to keep the plot going.
Mission Impossible II loads up the gimmicks and plot devices and violence to deliver a superficial actioner. Pity.
