Film is poor M:I entry, and bad among all action films.

Rating: 1/10 (25 May 2000)

Other than a few crudely implanted trademarks, this film in no way belongs to the Mission Impossible genre. It's nothing more than a weak Tom Cruise vehicle. Other "team members" are barely a support cast. There's none of the cleverly timed interaction that defines Mission Impossible. To make things worse, the first 100 minutes of the movie is nothing other than a series of boring dragged-out implausibilities. Woo expects us to be entertained by over-milked eye-candy. But the "icing" isn't sweet enough to compensate for the lack of "cake".
