Mission: Intolerable

Rating: 4/10 (13 April 2015)

In the fifteen years since its release I hadn't found any good reason to revisit John Woo's 'Mission: Impossible II'. Today I found a reason, if not a good one; boredom. Unfortunately, the film only added to that feeling.
Tom Cruise reboots Ethan Hunt here as a constantly grinning idiot who skips from one dull scene to the next. You would think that the involvement of John Woo would at least guarantee some fun action sequences, but even those fail to ignite any interest.
I can't say agent Ethan Hunt's mission here is impossible, but it certainly is incoherent, interminable, and inconsequential.
