Nice action flick... Cruise still brings it

Rating: 7/10 (24 January 2007)

Well, I truly didn't expect much out of this film. With all the preproduction problems and changes, I thought this would be a cluster. Also, the Bond-ish improbability of some of the stunts in MI-II were disappointing. This movie showed some heartbreak and emotion that was a pleasant surprise. Some of the fight scenes were truly well-done. But once... just once... I'd like to see someone do what they would do in real life if hit directly in the jaw... PASS OUT!!! Geeez! But MI-III is guilty as charged with the rest of Hollywierd in that crime. On the whole, this movie is well acted, filmed, and has the international flavor and feel a true spy-flick should.
