Title: This is not Mission: Impossible
Product review: When they teamed up Woo and Cruise to make this movie, they should have just called in something else. They eliminated almost all of the M:I team, leaving only Vinge Rhames to play 10 minutes on the screen. This is a Cruise-fest, plain and simple. And Woo's insipid filming technique, which for the most part does work in martial arts only movies, falls on its face. In a story that is supposed to be somewhat believable, we watch Cruise and cast complete hilarious stunts including a midair chest to chest impact of Cruise and baddie going at about 60 mph (120 mph impact) each. Please! And the repetitive use of rubber masks, upon rubber masks became boring, trite, and downright stupid after awhile. If they would have titled this movie something completely different, I would probably like it more. But this IS NOT Mission: Impossible.
