Impossible 2 would have been Tom Cruise reaching behind his ear, peeling off his face and revealing that he is indeed Pierce Brosnan and the previous two hours have been nothing but a loosely disguised James Bond film. Actually, there are several instances in the movie, starting with the opening scene, where Cruise or another character turns out to be someone else with a rubber mask and taped-on voice chip.
Bond is never behind any of the rubber disguises though.
Now, rather than merely shooting a few people and perhaps even an occasional gas tank on the side of a car, the film s characters can throw grenades into rooms full of bio-hazardous materials and run from a flame big enough to cook smores for an entire national convention of hungry boy scouts. The red substance kills its victims in a most horrifying manner in just over 20 hours. The green substance, if injected within those 20 hours, saves the victim. Its sort of like a game of Green Light, Red Light but with the entire existence of humanity hanging in the balance. The good guys want to rid the world of the red stuff while the bad guys want to mass produce both the red and green so they can raise stock prices and sell the green at outrageous prices to an entire population that will be in desperate need of it.
