The smartest thing
Tom Cruise ever did professionally was bring in the talents of
J.J. Abrams to Write and Direct
MI3. We finally get a true Action Adventure the series has been begging for since its inception. With
Abrams on board, he was able to do what the first two films could not do, and that was give us an entertaining, two-hour thrill ride. This delivers in spades. If you are a fan of
Abrams series
Alias, you will see some familiar faces as well as his directing style.
I absolutely love this movie and with
Tom leading the charge, we finally get a Villain that doesn't suck.
Philip Seymour Hoffman was fantastic as
Owen Davian. Next time I watch
Magnolia, it's gonna feel different. Along for the ride is
Ving Rhames as well as newcomers
Maggie Q, Billy Crudup, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Simon Pegg and
Laurence Fishburne. With a stellar cast, all that was left was to come up with spectacular Set Pieces and there are plenty of them here. One after the other. Loved the ending.
This is definitely a
Buy and one that I look forward to adding to my personal DVD Collection.
