gripping, what you can expect

Rating: 6/10 (7 May 2006)

'Mission Impossible 3' is an action film about a detective for secret missions who plans to get married and settled down, but his friends/colleagues encourage him to not give up his job. This leads him to tracking down a criminal who plans to steal and sell something called 'the rabbit's foot'. This leads the main character into a mission where he must save his wife, who has been kidnapped by the criminal mastermind, and save the world from the 'rabbit's foot' at the same time. The film grips the audience on the edge of the seats in some of the fast-paced action sequences. I was impressed, but that may be because I was not expecting much of a film. The film has plenty of action and different types of action to keep up the interest while producing a semi-decent storyline. It's not supposed to be a classic, but it is entertaining. The biggest problem that I had with the film is the romance/love story. It was (and the dialogue was) very silly and often predictable. I just wanted to fast-forward through those heart-wrenching and sickening moments and enjoy the action.
