Still can't act

Rating: 4/10 (12 May 2006)

Sorry, but from the opening scene, Tommy still can't act. And there's not enough action in this movie to save it. I don't think we need our action heroes to emote, which is what he director hoped for and got via the dialog. The plot is too thin, to really care about how the characters feel. There's not enough of a challenge to engage the MI team or the audience. Except for maybe 2 minutes of Tom running through the streets of China, there's very little action. Of course, Phillip Seymour Hoffman is wonderful, as usual, but he can't save the film. If he bothers to make another "episode", I hope there's less internal strife and more do-gooding for the world.
