Probably The Best Sequel Ever

Rating: 7/10 (26 May 2000)

Mission: Impossible 2 is perhaps the best movie sequel to come from Hollywood. The first one was a great movie on its own, but director John Woo gives the franchise a new look and a brand of action that the first one didn't have. I still love the first M:I, because Brian De Palma delivered his usual brilliance in creating high octane suspense. This may be one of Mr. Cruise's finest moments, since he does perform all of his own stunts, most of which I'm suprised he even survived. Dougray Scott is a chilling presence as the cold blooded villian. The final hour of the film is high octane filmmaking at it's best. M:I-2 is one the year's best films. Congratulations, Mr. Woo, you've succeeded once again!!
