Fly with agent Hunt

Rating: Null/10 (18 October 2019)

This is a typical John Woo movie and that means it is awesome. Tom Cruise returns as the cool Ethan Hunt in this second installment. There are some amazing sequences here, especially the entire 3rd act. The plot concerns the quest of an ex-secret agent, Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott), to obtain samples of both the killer virus Chimera and its antidote from the scientist who created them for Biocyte Pharmaceuticals in Sydney, Australia. Once he has the virus, Ambrose plans to unleash it in the streets of Sydney and get rich as his stock options in Biocyte skyrocket, since the drug company will be the only one producing the antidote. Of course, the Impossible Missions Force (IMF) cannot allow this to happen, so their leader, M... err, make that Swanbeck (Anthony Hopkins), calls on his top agent, Ethan Hunt (Cruise), interrupting his mountain climbing vacation. I won't spoil the rest but rest assured it's a ride.
