Tom Cruise meet Bruce Lee

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2000)

A fine waste of 59 minutes, I just wish it had lasted that long. This is vintage John Woo fare replete with all the necessary martial arts action (double kicks to the side of the head galore), drawn out fight scenes in which the good guy beats up at least ten bad, bad men and a hokey ending (yes, there were clowns). The sense of intrigue generated by MI-1 is gone.
That said, if you are looking for an escapist movie this is it, just don't expect to be surprised. I can't wait for MI-3, Inside the Shaolin Temple.
