Review of Mission: Impossible II (2000) by Landon M — 31 Jul 2015
What on earth is this? This movie is a 2 hour John-Woo-fest rather than a Mission Impossible movie. That's not entirely bad though. What works about this movie is that it is entertaining, well shot, and has a beautiful score.
However, John Woo tries too hard to make this as stylized as possible, as it ends up looking like the most fake action movie ever. The acting is decent, but the writing is cheesy and the action is so over the top.
Despite one scene that I loved, the only fun I got out of this movie was the fun of a guilty pleasure. I actually nodded off once. That's bad for an action movie. Overall, it's not terrible, just the low point of the M:I series, and not very memorable.
6/10.
