Advantages: great twists
Disadvantages: too complicated (maybe even impossible)

...a huge one for any Mission: Impossible fan. Personally I think it was too far. It ends in the now famous helicopter going through the Euro Tunnel scene. At the time this was made, it was cutting edge special effects. Of course, we all know the TGV doesn't stop in London. But I'm pretty sure a sponsorship deal and misinformation (it was filmed before the tunnel was complete) insured that in this film TGV did stop at London. I remember when it came ...
...for being the first to incorporate the tunnel. ------------------------------ Acting ------------------------------ Jon Voight does a fantastic job as Jim Phelps - just the way I remember him. Tom Cruise also pulls off a good Ethan Hunt. The actors are all believable. This film boosted many of the actors careers. Including Jean Reno and Ving Rhames who both went on to do successful films after appearing in Mission Impossible. ---------------------- ... Read review

Advantages: It tries really hard to be a tense techno-thriller...
Disadvantages: ... but fails, mainly through poor editing and production style.

...I'm Chain Reaction starts off with an intriguing premise and goes downhill from there, despite trying really hard to be a tense techno-thriller. In The initial idea, of a new power-source being developed from water (we're not talking traditional hydro-power here though) - which supposedly has the capacity to use the hydrogen in small glass of water to power the whole city of Chicago for weeks -is brilliant. The idea of the rich and powerful oil companies ...
...it's not bad. Chain There's a brain behind this film (somewhat a rarity for this genre), but unfortunately it's been rather lost in the translation. It's almost as though someone said, "Hey, here's a brilliant idea for a film, let's turn it into a mediocre movie" - and lo! - it became so. It's certainly not a terrible film - watching it didn't leave me feeling that part of my life had been stolen - just that I hadn't made a profit on what time I'd ... Read review

Advantages: Classy fast paced action adventures starring Tom Cruise at his best
Disadvantages: None

...a devotee of the original Mission: Impossible television series I was looking forward to seeing these films. In their time the television series was very cutting edge in its story lines and effects. Mission: Impossible 1 opens with the hero Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) leading his team of operatives on a mission which goes horribly wrong. His team is wiped out ( with the exception of 1) and he is blamed by his spy bosses. As a result he is put out in ...
...went wrong and who was responsible. He contacts other agents who are beyond sanction and starts work. Vaneesa Redgrave has a cameo role in this film - not entirely believable in her part but it does not detract from the storyline. The special effects in this film are magic - hi tech and brilliant to watch. The various computer elements look great - whether actually possible or not I wouldn't know, but looks great. The resolution of the mystery ... Read review

Advantages: 3 films for the price of 1
Disadvantages: No extras

...seperately, so here goes: Broken Arrow The Story is so simple and typical of an american writer, 2 Air Force pilots are pitted against each other in a race to recover two stolen nuclear warheads.It makes you wonder what realy happens over in america, they seem to lose more nuclear weapons than i care to imagine!!! What transpires is a Fast Paced action adventure that makes you wonder what incredibel feat will the main stars (Travolta, Slater) do ...
...myself during watching!(Namely after the scene on top of the train, i added "It's been a while since anyone has shot between her legs") Worth watching as it has good entertainment value. I still thoroughly enjoyed this film, yet it was not a remarkable performance by any of the cast nor director! Director:- John Woo Cast include's:- John Travolta, Christian Slater, Delroy Lindo Run Time:- 104mins approx The Siege This was the main film that ... Read review
