Go See! However be aware about the predictability of Tom Cruise

Rating: 8/10 (5 May 2006)

I just came back from viewing the film.
For me, it ties with the first one for the best of the all MI movies. Though Phillip Seymour Hoffman was woefully underused as the bad guy. there was not enough of him on screen but he displayed sufficient menace to leave us wanting more. Well he was better than Dougray Scott anyway.
Most of the film tended to be Tom Cruise running around with a pained look on his face. If he wanted to run the marathon, why doesn't he ? I am glad to see the 'team' element of mission impossible in this one. big shout out to Ving Rhames, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Maggie Q( lovely red dress there ! ) One reviewer on another website said that Tom Cruise comes across more as an action figure than as a human being as he seems to be coming across in this film as superman.
Michelle Monaghan just passed for cruise's love interest, although she had limited screen time as most of it is devoted to the cruister.
The ending was bit clichéd, forumlaic if you will.
However for a good night out in the cinema and for action sequences, its a must.
