Zzzzzz...

Rating: 6/10 (27 May 2000)

I can't believe some guy thought this movie "rocked the world". All it did was rock me to sleep. This flick wasn't nearly as well-acted or interesting as Mission Impossible 1. The only saving grace was that we were thankfully not subjected to John Woo's (in)famous slow motion scenes continuously throughout the movie at inappropriate times. There were a few, but they weren't too distracting. Cruise wasn't his usually best, but he did an adequate job. At times I found myself talking to my girlfriend... the movie was just not interesting between the lulls in action. Don't expect any surprises, like part 1 had. This movie is a straightforward slug-fest. I give it a 6/10 (5 being an average flick).
