Good John Woo movie. Excellent action. Cool plot.

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2000)

My friend and I used to watch an hour of Mission: Impossible every day after school and after this movie we both agree that it is more of a "Mission: Impossible" movie than the first.
The action is quite good, not quite as good as The Matrix but it definately has the same feel. The movie features lots of The Matrix style Ultra-SLO-MOs and gunfight sequences.
The music is more heavy metal in nature than the original movie but still has the Mission: Impossible "feel" to it. The music fits into the style of the movie perfectly.
As far as the plot goes it is a lot like a James Bond movie with more sneaky stuff like what was common in Mission: Impossible. If you have watched as much Mission: Impossible as I have, you may find the plot to be somewhat predictable, but the average movie-goer will find it full of of twists and turns.
I give it an 8, because I loved the original series, and no movie has yet done the series justice. On the other hand, Mission: Impossible 2 is an incredible movie, and deserves a high ranking. I would recommend this movie to anyone who loves Mission: Impossible, James Bond, The Matrix, John Woo, or twisting plots.
