-Mission: Impossible III (PG13)
by Dr. D ~
Paramount Pictures, 2006, Starring- Tom Cruise
Non-stop action without taking a breath. This is a good film for total escape–no thinking or pesky philosophical underpinnings allowed. In the old TV series, the IMF team was always on the same side. But in the movies, ‘betrayal’ is always the major subtext. This was a lot more fun than the first two. Lots of action, though some of the chase scenes in China remind me of a recent 007 film. Anyway, no one runs better in the city than Tom, and it all turns out well in the end. No real surprises here.
