The third installment in the mission impossible series promises to be action packed and the best MI movie yet....but does it deliver?
The film starts off introducing Ethans new fiance a pretty young nurse who is completely oblivious to Ethans real job.
Unlike the other 2 movies Ethan Hunt is now a teacher . He teaches other potential IMF agents. He is lured back into action when one of his pupils becomes captured.
He faces his worst enemy yet...a sadistic arms dealer called Owen Davian. His mission takes him from Rome to Shanghai as he tries to rescue the agent. Unfortunately Ethans girlfriend gets wrapped up in it when she is kidnapped in a bid to get Ethan to help steal 'the Rabbits Foot' in order to save his girlfriend.
Unlike the other 2 mission impossible films this one is more focussed on Ethans relationship. However the movie has action from start to finish and some great plot twists. So in answer to my inital question does it deliver...oh yes it does!!!!!
My personal opinion of the film is that it is the best one yet. I love action films with a bit of a love story and this contains both. A job well done!!!!!

Sorry for the H, but if this is to be a full DVD review, I would prefer to see a review of the extras in similar detail to the way you've reviewed the film, rather than just a list of them.
