Edge of seat excitement

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2009)

True to its hype, the MI 3 delivers fast paced storyline loaded with breath-taking action sequences and obviously a cool suspense.
Tom Cruise is good in the parts which sans emotions. He is simply pathetic when it comes to serious acting.
Philip Seymour is good as the new baddie, sadly the same cannot be said about Lawrence Fishburne who is loud with his OTT extra-smart one- liners. Jon Voight has set the precedent quite high and Anthony Hopkins was a class in his own right.
Again the fine balance maintained by Brian De Palma is a unattainable but its safe to say J J Abrams was good in his own right.
Its a pity owing to the fallout, this franchise might not progress ahead but it did have loads of potential to be its own version of Bond/ Bourne.
