Mission: Impossible II (2000): Tom Cruise Returns as a Stealthy Spy


     Directed by John Woo, based on the hit television series, Mission: Impossible II (2000), stylized as M:I-2, was the explosive sequel to the 1996 Brian De Palma film. The story finds IMF operative Ethan Hunt tasked with a mission to retrieve a man-made virus called "Chimera" that has been absconded by rogue agents. Hunt recruits a female master jewel thief to aid him in executing the heist at a highly-secure pharmaceutical laboratory in Sydney, Australia. Rock climbing, car chases, stealthy black-suited repelling, hand-to-hand combat and explosions run throughout. Tom Cruise is great, reprising the lead role. Thandie Newton is beautiful as the nimble cat burglar with quick fingers. Dougray Scott is good as the villain. Anthony Hopkins and Ving Rhames co-star.
