Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: It's eye candy that detonates.
Rotten: Woo lays on his own particular high-octane stylishness so thick the results edge perilously toward self-parody.
Rotten: A vaguely absurd epidemiological thriller filled with elaborately superfluous setups and shamelessly stale James Bond riffs.
Fresh: Mission: Impossible 2 is pure escapism and never pretends to be anything else.
Customer Reviews
Great But what about the Soundtrack?
I thought this movie was fantastic, although I wish to trash i_tunes for not even having the soundtrack available. What the hell-a-roonie who picks what songs go up?
Out of place.
A silly, vastly inferior remake of Hitchcock's "Notorious", John Woo is considrably out of context with the series. Anthony Hopkins mentions this is not "Mission:Difficult", but that's exactly what this film was. Attach a flimsy virus sub-plot to the weak romance that hardly stands up to the likes of Cary Grant with Ingrid Bergman, and you have a wretched mess of things that ultimately appears to parody the series rather than continue it.
Its a well told action movie.
It may not be the smartest movie but its got great action scenes and a clearer story than the original. You should defenitly buy it.
