Mission: cliche X2

Rating: Null/10 (11 September 2000)

You know your going to watch a movie that is cliche to the max... It's going to be the American version of James Bond. I suppose the thing that makes James Bond work and MI:2 not is that James Bond lets you focus on the whole movie like a glamour shot. Right down to the Smirnoff bottle and the expensive BMW's. I have to say the movie started out great... up to the point of the car collision which seemed way to unbelievable (and a Porshe that I believe has All wheel drive and ABS spinning in circles?). It was all down hill from then... The screen was wasted with shots of Tom Cruise's face.
I suppose my disappointment also has something to do with bizarre, unrealistic, and eventually became boring fighting sequences and a weak bad guy...
And I saw this movie at the cheapest of cheap theatres... I guess it was worth it to kill an hour or so.
