Not for me

Rating: 4/10 (10 June 2002)

This "romantic-action" film did not work for me. It was just too slow in between action scenes. The plot was interesting, the action was good, the fight choreography was excellent, but the movie just dragged because of this focus on romance, which brings me to my soap box.
** spoiler ** Since when is a relationship built on a one night stand?! Here, we are supposed to believe that Ethan is so committed to this woman, that he slept with once! Give me a break. And it's not just this film, someone's agenda seems to be convincing the population that this is how you "fall in love!" I feel sorry for all the suckers that bite on this bait. It will only mean disillusionment and broken relationships, which should have never been started in the first place. ** end spoiler **
Anyway, back to the movie. If you aren't a Tom Cruise fan, don't see it. If you ARE a Mission Impossible fan, don't see it. If you don't fall into either of those categories and you are totally bored and you have this film on hand, go ahead, see it.
