It's Okay

Rating: 6/10 (10 November 2006)

Ethan Hunt (Cruise) must provide the Rabbit's Foot (don't ask) to Davian (Hoffman) who has kidnapped Hunt's wife and will kill her if he doesn't get it.
I like action movies, but when the action is almost non-stop from beginning to end I end up in La La Land. It just gets tedious, but that is what MI III is all about: action; and I really shouldn't complain. I did have a choice.
However, everything is good, the acting, the dialogue, the stunts, the cinematography, and, of course, there is a twist and you are left to figure out who the mole is. There is just simply too much action, and yes, it works but let's hope this is the last of the MI movies. Enough already. What might have helped more is an injection of some humor. Guess the Bond movies spoiled us.
Now, I couldn't help noticing that some very bad camera angles had Tom Cruise looking like either Tim Daly or Mark Wahlberg. Remember, I did say I went to La La Land at times. I had to look really hard at times to make sure it was Tom Cruise and still wasn't sure. Hoffman loses the Capote voice and is quite good as a bad guy and may take some roles destined, perhaps, for Gary Busey or Willem Defoe. And, yes I did notice that Cruises' on-screen wife (Monaghan) did bear some resemblance to Katy Holmes and you do know who she is, right?
