Mission: Stupid

Rating: 1/10 (25 May 2000)

My god, this movie was painful. I am a big fan of action films, and I love car chases, motorcycles, and explosions. However, this movie was blatantly obligatory without showing anything new. Tom Cruise looks like a moronic hippy. His martial arts moves and other physically impossible moves made me think I was watching The Matrix all over again. The sad thing is, this movie wants you to believe it is possible. The leading lady is quite hot, but there is not even any nudity. The villain is laughable, and the audience got a huge chuckle when he demanded "Stock. Stock options to be precise." While John Woo is known for his excessive use of slow-motion shots, it grew quite annoying as I was waiting for something to happen. From the commercials, I made the decision not to see this movie, and I'm glad my initial instincts were correct. But since I got the chance to see it for free, I thought I would go. This movie is worth nothing more than I paid for it.
Do yourself a favor and do not see this. Not even on video. Not even if it's free.
