Review of Mission: Impossible II (2000) by Greg P — 11 Dec 2011

Action-filled follow-up to the original. I felt that this sequel focused more on the action and less on the story than the first movie. It was a more straight-forward type of action movie. This isn't an all bad thing as the action was very well done and the story was a decent one.

The acting here is pretty good. There are actually quite a few fine actors in this movie, some in fairly small parts like Hopkins and Gleeson. It was nice to have Rhames back as Ethan Hunt's "partner-in-crime" and I think Cruise did a really good job reprising his role as Hunt.
