It was a pretty good blast.

Rating: 7/10 (23 June 2000)

I think I got what I expected. I wasn't looking for Shakespear. I was looking for things to blow up, car crashes, lots of gun fire and things to go "BOOM". I've read some other reviews indicating the film had a weak story line. Yes?....And?..What's your point? Actually I had no problem with the story line. It was simple enough to follow and with just enough suspense to keep me....well, in suspense. As for the reason why Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) seems to fall in love with Nyah (Thandie Newton) so quickly...here comes a sexist remark..BECAUSE SHE'S HOT!!!! Was it believable? Don't know. Didn't care. All I know is that the world is safe once again thanks to Tom Cruise and his exploding Oakly shades. Extra: Cool soundtrack. The song in the beginning of this movie (Iko-Iko) is the same song as in the beginning of "Rainman", but in spanish (or at least it sounded like spanish).
