Yawn

Rating: 2/10 (25 July 2000)

First things first. I love action movies. I love Die Hard, Highlander, The Hunt for Red October, ...
Second thing, I like most of John Woo's work... recently saw Face/Off and it was quite good. The Killer was awesome. Hard Target wasn't bad considering it had that awful Van Damme.
But then, I nearly fell asleep watching Mission Impossible II. It's just plain boring! I don't mind if it's not physically possible, but if you go that way, go all the way (The Matrix, the original MI's 'copter inside tunnel sequence, ...); there were no action scenes who moved me an inch. There is just the motorcycle chase scene (maybe the best in the movie) and the lab shootout, and they are too short and well, not too spectacular!
Were not for that, I could forget the laughable acting, I would enjoy seeing Miss Newton, who is quite beautiful. I would enjoy the Lalo Schiffrin theme. But it was SO boring!
