Much better than M:I (possible spoilers)

Rating: Null/10 (21 September 2002)

Don't get me wrong, Brian De Palma did a great job with the first one but... He is not good in action films, where the first one ended with a big actionparty in the end, this one contains action all the way through.
John Woo is the director and Tom Cruise and Ving Rhames reprise their roles as Ethan Hunt and Luther Stackwell. This time, they must stop one of Ethans former colleges Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott) spreading a virus over the world. They hire the beautiful master thief Nyah (Thandie Newton) to help them, because she had a relationship with Ambrose in the past.

John Woo does a fantastic director work. With his original camera angles and violent fight and action-sequences this film become a lot more than just a typical action movie. Tom Cruise again dellivers a great performance as Ethan Hunt, Ving Rhames brings a lot of humor and charm to his charecter and finally Dougray Scott, who fits perfect as the main bad guy. This movie is very good and I highly recommend to everyone who likes a good action movie and meanwhile a great story. What I also love about the film is the chemestry between Tom Cruise and Thandie Newton. Example: When they first discover each other in Spain they become isolated in a lovely way, when the sound is quite and it's all appears in slow-motion. Bottom line fantastic film, it disurves 10 stars!
