Impossible 2 has slicker action scenes, a smaller cast, and a wonderfully simple plot. If you ve never seen a John Woo directed movie, you re totally missing out. John Woo has a directing style and vision that is all his own. Everyone wears flowing fabric that makes loud whooshing noises in slow motion close ups. Never has a Spanish dress generated so much bass, or the grabbing of a scarf been so intense.
Time has no meaning, a sequence can be in slow motion or sped up, whichever looks cooler.
The protagonist uses 2 handguns, one in each hand. 5. The aforementioned protagonist is a damn good shot. Mr. Protagonist also slides across the ground during a gunfight, shooting people. The Protagonist ends up looking like the coolest guy alive. There's a powerboat, whether used in a chase or not, it's there.
