Mission Impossible 3

May 07, 2006  /  Joshua Fialkov

So, well... It's hard to come up with something to say that hasn't been said before about the movie. It's good, not great. It's like a higher budget episode of Alias, which in the long run, turns out to be more satisfying than most of Alias because there's an actual ending and y'know, the set pieces are brilliantly done. Tom Cruise... is distracting at best, but is nicely balanced by a lot of smaller bit roles by Billy Crudup, Laurence Fishburne, John Rhys-Myers, and Simon Pegg. The thing that most makes the movie work though, is the performance of Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He's spectacular.

So, look, it's not Die Hard, but nothing is anymore.
