More realistic than Mission Impossible One

Rating: 7/10 (8 July 2000)

Well, maybe not.
But who cares? It was good simple entertainment, even if it did sometimes resemble fantasy more than fiction.
The film contained stunning action sequences. Most of these were a bit too unbelievable, though, for me to recommend the film as a classic. There was no tension, no suspense, but it was a nice visual feast for the eye.
The female lead was not a particularly strong part, and Ethan Hunt had to do most of the world-saving single handedly. If I was him, I would definitely buy a few lottery tickets, because he must have a high luck quotient to have avoided all those thousands of bullets.
The head of IMF was not identified in the credits, but I think it was Hannibal Lecter.
