A worthy sequel.

Rating: 7/10 (7 May 2006)

"Mission: Impossible II" is another great film directed this time by master director John Woo (you see his touches in this film for sure - including his trademark white doves!). Although this film isn't really in the vein of the "Mission: Impossible" TV series, probably because most of the main character in the series died in the first film - it's still a great action film. Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt (with long hair this time) as well as Ving Rhames as Luther Stickell. And the action sequences are incredible (as to be expected from John Woo). However, the love interest and villain this time around are okay in my opinion and the score could be better. But otherwise, I think it makes for a worthy sequel - a solid 7 out of 10.
