Mission: Impossible II. For the the second installment of the franchise the producers needed to step it up a bit to keep the interest. They therefore hired director John Woo a Honk Kong Native who always brings us a major action content even if often over the top (Broken arrow, Face off, Red cliff, Paycheck and many chinese movies). John often oversteps the line of the believable but often in the good interest of giving a great show. This is again the case.

A heavy cast is used again with Tom Cruise in the main role of Ethan Hunt, Dougray Scott, Ving Rhames and the beautiful Thandie newton in support roles. The baddie is well played by Richard Roxburg. This is the story of the top spy team for IMF returning on active duty to save the world from a deadly virus called Chimeara. Fortunately the antidote exists in Bellerophon but the bad guys differ on opinion on how to make use of the two.... Again an intense batlle starting in Sydney. By the way the bad guys i a again an IMF agent gone bad. These guys really have to start picking their staff better... The movie takes us from a texas Mountain ot downtown Sydney and it's sourrounding area. The plot uses the girl Hunt has associated with to get information from the other agent gone rogue. Plans which obviously turns bad for the chick. The end is a major motrocycle chase and duel in which the bad guy finally gets killed. And hunt achieves his mission to save the girl and the worls at the same time. Again a very entertaining movie which will entertain your senses 100%.

Mission: impossible II. Pour le second film de la franchise les producteurs avaient besoin de plus de punch Ils ont alors engagé le réalisateur John Woo. Woo est un réalisateur d`origine de Hong Kong qui faite de bon films d`action (Broken arrow, Face off, Red cliff, Paycheck and plusieurs autres films anglais et chinois) qui sont souvent du côté dangeureux de la crédibilité. En plein ce les producteurs voulaient pour garder le souffle sur la franchise. Tom Cruise joue encore dans le rôle principal de Ethan Hunt avec Dougray Scott, Ving Rhames et la jolie Thandie Newton dans les roles de support. Le mauvais garçon est joué par Richard Roxburg un agent de la IMF qui décide de se joindre au côté sombre de la force. Encore un transfuge...ils devraient commençer à mieux choisir leurs employés à la IMF. Roxburg vole un virus extrêmement dangeureux qui est
accompagné dùn antidote qui pourrait se vendre à grand prix si le virus était mis en liberté...

Heureusement pour nous Ethan Hunt est là et il assemble une nouvelle équipe pour reprendre le virus; dont la belle jeune fille qui est l`ex copine du méchant. Bien entendu cela torune mal pour la jolie et Hunt devras retrouver le vaccin en qqes heures pour la sauver elle ainsi que le monde.
Encore une fois beuacoup d`action, souvent `over the top` (comme le duel en moto); mais pas de scènes aussi mémorables que dans le premier MI. Encore une fois un bon film pour vous amuser et une bonne soirée pop-corn.

Great quotes:
Mission Commander Swanbeck: Mr. Hunt, this isn't mission difficult, it's mission impossible. "Difficult" should be a walk in the park for you.
...
Dr. Nekhorvich: Every search for a hero must begin with something which every hero requires, a villain.
...
Mission Commander Swanbeck: Good morning, Mr. Hunt. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, involves the recovery of a stolen item designated "Chimera." You may select any two team members, but it is essential that the third member of your team be Nyah Nordoff-Hall. She is a civilian, and a highly capable professional thief. You have forty-eight hours to recruit Miss Hall and meet me in Seville to receive your assignment. As always, should any member of your team be caught or killed, the Secretary will disavow all knowledge of your actions. And Mr. Hunt, the next time you go on holiday, please be good enough to let us know where you're going. This message will self-destruct in five seconds.
Ethan Hunt: If I let you know where I'm going, I won't be on holiday.
...
Ethan Hunt: We've got 19 hours and 57 minutes. I'll get Bellerophon into your system by then. Just stay alive. I'm not going to lose you.
...
Billy Baird: You OK, mate?
Luther Stickell: That punk put a hole in my Versace.
