Let-down from an already let-down

Rating: 5/10 (5 October 2015)

Where the first film was...eh...but not forgettable, this one was the exact opposite. It was bad and mainly forgettable.
This is especially sad because I've seen the director (John Woo) do some really good, fun, over-the-top movies like Face/Off. This one...well it was over-the-top.
There are no memorable action scenes, no memorable characters, Ving Rhames was annoying as hell in this, and the romance was really forced. Ethan (Cruise) tries to hook up with this girl (Newton) after he busted her on her mission and nearly got into a fatal car crash with her. Gee, I can feel the love in this movie.
The only things that were sort of cool were the Oakleys Cruise was wearing, the bad guy, and the knife-to-eye shot in the climax. Otherwise, this film was really forgettable.
