He and his cronies hijack a passenger jet and bail out before sending a plane full of innocent people crashing into a mountain. A carload of bad guys gets annihilated by a Mack truck. Much of the violence is either sped up or shot in operatic slo-mo. I see action almost as a ballet and sometimes as a cartoon. Indeed, it has a glamorous veneer.
Characters gamble at a racetrack.
Nyah is an unrepentant thief who has her criminal record wiped clean for cooperating with Hunt s team. Add a magnetic star like Tom Cruise, impressive stunt work and eye-popping action and you have the makings of a summer blockbuster. Hopkins uncredited cameo is small, but memorable. Still, I can t recommend it. This sequel is an adrenaline rush that, while fun at times, should have adopted the modus operandi of its hero and throttled back on the body count.
