Review|Mission Impossible III (2006)

Category: Movies
Genre: Action/Espionage
Starring: Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ving Rhames

Ethan Hunt of the IMF is back, slowing things down a bit he stays on as an instructor, trying to live a normal life he intends to marry his girlfriend, but when his student gets caught by a nasty arms dealer he is thrust back into the game.

First off this movie is definitely fast paced and action packed, a plus for adrenaline junkies. As usual Mr. Hunt chose to accept the mission and in the end does the impossible [pardon the lame play on words]. I did find it lame however that this action/espionage movie became a boo-hoo-hoo mushy movie during some parts [I honestly though Mr. Hunt would jump up a car and start punching his fist in the air whilst laughing and screaming that he's in love ;-)]. I also can't help but think that JJ Abrams leant too much of an Alias feel to it [a LOST feel would not really be apt, would it?], I mean the main themes of the movie are sort of ripped out from the Alias playbook. Super Secret Agent falls in love but can't tell his/her loved one, loved one get's caught, rescue mission blah blah blah yada yada yada... the story is just a bit too shallow. IM3 was definitely entertaining visually but if you think it through it's just like an episode of Alias. Hoffman's acting prowess is not really emphasized in this movie, they should have used a more badass looking badguy... I kept on picturing Hoffman playing basketball with Ben Stiller in Along Came Polly, shouting 'RAINMAKER' and 'ICEMAN'!
