-Tom
Cruise
John
Woo
raises
the
action
bar
in
this
violent,
romantic
sequel
to
Brian
De
Palma's
1996
original.
Tom
Cruise
is
back
as
Ethan
Hunt,
this
time
battling
wits
with
rogue
IMF
agent
Sean
Ambrose
(Dougray
Scott).
Hunt
is
ordered
to
recruit
Ambrose's
former
lover,
Nyah
Hall
(Thandie
Newton),
to
infiltrate
his
hideout.
But
Hunt
never
expected
to
fall
for
the
lovely
young
thief
he
must
use
for
bait.
The
romantic
triangle
that
ensues
gives
the
film
a
unique
emotional
balance
that
is
unusual
(and
most
welcome)
for
an
action
picture.
Ambrose
is
after
the
killer
Chimera
virus
and
its
antidote,
Bellerophon;
in
the
old
days
Ambrose
would
have
been
after
world
domination,
but
in
this
new
world
order
of
day
trading
and
Internet
stocks,
all
he
wants
is
to
corner
the
market
and
make
a
fortune.
Woo
outdoes
even
himself
with
a
flurry
of
martial-arts
fights,
fiery
shootouts,
thrilling
mountain
climbing,
and
blazing
motorcycle
chases
that
lead
from
the
beautiful
peaks
of
Utah
through
the
busy
streets
of
Sydney.
All
of
this
is
set
to a
booming
hard-rock
soundtrack
that
battles
with
the
explosions
and
blasting
guns
for
ear
space.
And
he
doesn't
fail
to
include
his
trademark
birds
fluttering
like
peaceful
interludes
in
the
most
threatening
of
moments.
