Okay, we get it. Tom Cruise is "cool".

Rating: 5/10 (10 December 2002)

Spectacular belief-defying stunts... and not much else. Apparently not many people fully grasped the plot of the first installment (a much better movie), so its sequel was dumbed down to a generic summer action flick. And isn't MI supposed to be about a team of covert agents? That's what I remember when I used to watch the show as a kid. So where's the team? All I saw was a movie about how "cool" Tom Cruise was supposed to be. I used to admire John Woo; he's a better director with a smaller budget and no big-name American movie stars. 2/10.
