Pathetic. Rip off. Need I say more?

Rating: 1/10 (1 June 2000)

One of the worst movies I've seen in quite some time. And considering I went in with low expectations, that speaks volumes. It directly ripped off a scene from Last of the Mohicans, and ripped off its general feel from all the bond movies. Not only is this movie not a sequel to Mission Impossible the TV series, it isn't even a sequel to Mission Impossible the movie. I'm not sure if I can say this movie sucked, but only because I think that comment might be censored. This movie was predictable, lame and annoyingly plagiaristic. I can't say enough poor things about this movie. If I can help even one person from spending their hard earned money on this movie, then perhaps my misspent dollars are not gone completely in vain.
Did I mention that John Woo (of whom I am generally a fan) did his worst work yet here? His methods (e.g. slo-mo to build up drama and emphasize action) are tedious here. The instant deep bond between the two main characters is ridiculous ('hey we almost killed each other! Let's sleep together and form a lasting love bond') and all the other relationships are barely more believable. Again, I don't think I can count in 1000 words how many ways this movie was disappointing!
So I'll stop at 234 words with saying that this movie wasn't even worth a rental rate.
