Jackie Chan does James Bond, wearing a rubber mask?

Rating: 6/10 (3 July 2000)

I think M:I-1 had a much better plot. At least, it DID have a plot. If there is any plot at all in M:I-2, it's carefully disguised in a rubber mask. The formula for making this film was: get a James Bond film, remove all the girls but one, put in some Jackie Chan gymnastics, and add a few rubber masks. Anyway, those masks are great for the suspense, you never know who is who.
For an action fan like me, this is a very good film, as one could expect from John Woo. Very dynamic, if you know what I mean. At several points, I thought "Ouch! That must hurt!". The action scenes are well distributed along the film, with the power steadily increasing to the breaking point at the end. The motorcycle chase, in particular, is among the best chase scenes I have ever seen in the movies.
To enjoy this film, turn off your left brain hemisphere and activate all your adrenaline receptors. I rather liked it, but not too much. It's more like "Mission: Frenetic". And it should have more, prettier, girls. I give it a 6.
