Mission MacGuffin

Rating: 6/10 (14 August 2018)

This mission has all the sensational action scenes, breakneck speed, nonstop high-tech stuff, great stunts, and a very disturbing villain played seriously by Philip Seymour Hoffman, but it's samey and a lot of what goes on is implausible. The film is like a travel brochure to hang the big sequences on and this is one of several false notes. Some of the escapes are very far fetched, and implausible in other parts. The audience will forget about the nefarious device and not care what the Rabbit's foot really is.
