A good John Woo movie but not the best

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2006)

The second film in a soon to be trilogy, Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt to save the world from a deadly virus. The narrative is the same in any action film (good guy triumphs over bad guy). The acting is quite good, the normal Tom Cruise superhero, a good turn by Thandie Newton as Nyah Hall and EXCELLENT acting from Dougray Scott as Sean Ambose the main villain of the film due to his mean attitude to everyone.The action is excellently derogated the Hong Kong MASTER of action John Woo. There is a shootout,short car chase, a motorbike chase and also lots of hand to hand fights,plus a Fantastic score by Hans Zimmer .This film is worth watching but if you are a fan of John Woo and you want to see a excellent film of his go towards his original Hong Kong films (The Killer is the best one). Better hurry up before the third comes out.
