Mission: Impossible 2


IMDB
First time viewed: No
Current Release: No
Watched With: Myself

Ahh what the hell, may as well finish off the series.

Anthony Hopkins is in this? Forgot that. I do remember it's practically all set in Australia. Perhaps that's why I shy away from it so much. They do absolutely everything to remind you of this every two seconds, with shots of kangaroos of the Sydney Harbor Bridge. The BMX Bandits ending doesn't help either.

So this is the John Woo entry. So there's an awful lot of gunplay in slow motion with a big rock guitar soundtrack. And everyone always wares sunglasses. And there's not really much spying at all despite the over use of masks. There's something very early 90's about the romance side of the action/romance. As in, even at the time it was made it was already dated.

I guess it's serviceable.
