Trill Ride of The Year

Rating: 10/10 (23 January 2001)

At first I was very hesitant in seeing this movie. I Didn't enjoy the first one very much, I was unpleased with the way Tom Cruise portrayed his character, and I was very lost at some points in the movie, in fact it still had me guessing after I bought the DVD and watched it some more. But I finally dragged myself to theater to see it and was blown away. The acting was 100% better then the first, the story was easy to believe in today's society, and a good story at that. The action as well as the dramatic and love scenes were very well shot. The writing was good and let you get to know the characters so well that you could almost believe this was a true story. I think the fact that Tom Cruise did his own stunts made you want to like this movie because of the effort it must have taken. Dougray Scott is the man for the job as his character `Sean Ambrose' no one could have done better, the chemistry between Sean and Ethan is incredible, as well is the chemistry between Ethan Hunt (Crusie) and Nyah Hall (Thandie Knewton) they both light up the screen with their performances. Some people say that this movie was too predictable and didn't keep people guessing but me and a lot of people I know disagree. This movie will keep you biting your nails and completely still as you see the action sequences. This movie brought me back to the theatre 5 more times. I gave it a 10 of 10. All around, this was the best movie of 2000. Definitely worth seeing and buying!
