A few sketchy plot holes, but a satisfying action flick that works. Directed by John Woo, produced by Cruise and Paula Wagner. Rated PG-13 for excessive violence. An Australian pharmaceutical firm has developed a horrendously virulent virus called Chimera which can kill millions in short order. The company's boss has also ordered an antidote which could be worth billions of dollars.
Hunt is told to search for the terrorists and recover the virus.
And of course the relationship warms as they face unimaginable dangers together. The method includes atomic-like explosions, extended shootouts lacking in sharpshooters, and gladiatorial kung fu accented by slow motion and earsplitting sound effects. Cruise makes a convincing hero, and he reportedly performed many of his own stunts. Her future seems unlimited. Please read it.
