Impossible is Nothing

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2006)

So I stole that line from Adidas, big deal.
Yes, I have just watched M:I 3, a type of action movie I haven't seen since the likes of Speed. (I'm not including King Kong and The Interpreter because they don't have secret agents in them, and Mr. & Mrs. Smith is more of a romantic comedy action movie, so.. ) The story is straight-forward. But not AS straight as M:I 2, I have to say, that one sucked.. even if I like John Woo. Story-wise it's almost like M:I 1.
But the action! The action is GOOD. Good as in NON-STOP action, (and here I play the mission impossible song, bum bum, bada, bum bum, bada bum), just like Speed. With small breaks in-between just to show enough relationships between characters and the characters themselves.
Some of the actions, such as the hanging flat off the wire thing, or the "talk, or your girlfriend dies" trick, or the 'Chinese' girl (Maggie Q) doing a 'prayer' in Chinese (that one didn't work coz her Chinese actually sucked), or the trick of using a fake person under the rubber-mask just to scare ppl off (ok I'm talking too much here)... they're all just classics (a.k.a. old), but hey, some of them work anyway! And when they don't, who cares! The action, I give them 5 stars.
Now go buy the cinema tickets and watch. NOW.
