Sydney has never looked better on film.....

Rating: 10/10 (2 June 2000)

While the person I was sitting next to in this film classed it as far fetched, I couldn't take my eyes away from the screen. Sydney has never looked better on film and not once was I offended by the portrayal of Australians like I often am in so many other films.
Cruise was excellent in his return to the role of Ethan Hunt, in fact he improved on his first attempt. I preferred the sequel to the original which is very rare. He also managed to bring back some of that 'Top Gun' charm that made us all love him back in 1986. I haven't had the urge to gawk at Cruise since 'Cocktail'.
John Polson was a familiar and welcome face to see on the big screen and along with Ving Rhames provided excellent comic value to an already exciting film.
If you're not sure about seeing this film, I would certainly recommend it. It may be far fetched but when is an Action Film ever realistic and in my opinion Mission: Impossible should never be anything but.
