Superb action film

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2006)

I have recently watched Mission Impossible 1 and 2 on DVD, whilst I thought 1 was good, I wasn't over impressed with MI 2. So I went to watch the 3rd film with mixed feelings. I was greatly surprised at how good it was. I thought the cast were good and worked well together, and Phillip Seymour Hoffman was outstanding (as usual), unbelievability menacing. Tom Cruise, did what you would expect from Tom in this type of film, though at times I thought there were times when it was obvious that he was acting, though this maybe being a little picky. As for the special effects, in my opinion they were as good as any film of this type that I have seen. This is for 2 reasons, 1. They were extremely stunning and realistic, in the films context. 2. In my opinion, the effects didn't overpower the storyline. This is an action film, that is high in action and a reasonably good story line which is well worth checking out.
