Mission Unintelligible

Rating: 1/10 (30 May 2000)

It was a travesty and an injustice to use the Mission Impossible title for this movie. It represented one of the greatest frauds ever perpetrated upon the film going public. Since when is Mission Impossible about mindless action and simplistic plots? John Woo has turned what should have been a taut physcological thriller into an unwatchable collection of exagerrated, and therefore stupid, action sequences. Where was the style and substance of the first movie? Where did the logic and intelligence go? As smart as the first one was this is every bit as dumb.
