And I thought the first Mission: Impossible was dumb. Taking the reigns from Brian de Palma, who infected the first film with his tilted angle fetish, is famous Hong Kong action director/sad Hollywood prostitute John Woo, who has a list of bizarre fetishes or "trademarks" far stranger than de Palma's (including doves, rainbows, and the incessant use of camera zooms and slow motion). Tom Cruise, armed with the short-lived hippie hair that also made its way into 2001's underrated Vanilla Sky, constantly postures for the camera and makes excessive reminders to the audience that, yes, he has absolutely no chemistry with Bond gir..er, love interest Thandie Newton. It's bad when the screenwriter, Robert Towne, says that he had to construct his story around action sequences that Woo wanted to film. Apparently actually making one of these godforsaken movies entertaining is the impossible mission of the title.
