A truly awesome actioner, possibly the best since The Matrix

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2000)

To put it bluntly, this films kicks serious ass. John Woo outdoes himself this time in possibly his best film ever, Hard Boiled being the only one to even come close. The amount of intensity that develops throughout this film makes it a very high voltage thriller. Tom Cruise is really cool in this, as you can really believe that he is an action star. They said they wanted to make this film different than the previous, I did see quite a bit of simularities throughout. In the end though, the last 25 minutes of this movie does so much that not even The Matrix can top. The Wachoski Brothers and Robert Rodreguiz have all said they learned a lot from John Woo, who they claim to be the God of action directors. Apparently Woo has also learned from them over the past few years and M:I 2 shows it. This will be one of the highest, if not thee highest, grossing films of the year.
Note to Paramount: make sure this is one outstanding DVD as it deserves.
