This review is on the 2006, trilogy, MissionImpossible 3 starring Tom Cruise, as IFM agent Ethan Hunt. Now I was a really big fan of the first missionimpossible, and then kind of let down by the second one, however again like the first one I liked the final instalment, because it was so much different in terms of storyline, style, action scenes and so on.
The film was directed by JJ Abrams, who most people may no from such film as Cloverfeild, and TV shows such as Alias and Lost. He's a brilliant director, he does some of the most intense action sequences, and it pulls of really well.
For people whom haven't seen the missionimpossible film, the main background plot is that Ethan Hunt works for a special government agency known as the IMF, ImpossibleMission Force, who is like a MI6 type organization. There goals are to stop all ...

MissionImpossible 2 on DVD: The special features
MissionImpossible was a great film, no-one can deny that, but the sequal, funnily enough titled, "MissionImpossible 2" is, in my opinion even better! I'm not going to go into detail about the film, but it basically follows along the same lines of the first one. (The world's greatest spy/detective, spying and detecting! :)
The Special Features include:
A brilliant 'Behind the scenes' feature, with various exclusive interviews.
An outstounding 'Stunts and special effects' feature, which goes into great detail how they created 11 of the amazing stunts in the film, one of which being that fab car chase on the clifftops.
Various commentries from the director, John Woo
A music video by Metallica
An alternate title sequence, which i personally prefer to the standard one ...

DVD Description
Tom Cruise stars as Ethan Hunt, leader of a crack squad of intelligence operatives, in this labyrinthine action-thriller based on the hit 1960s-'70s television series. When a dangerous mission in Prague goes inexplicably wrong, Hunt finds himself out in the cold. A mole has infiltrated the CIA, and suspicions are that it's Hunt. His only chance: Find out who the real mole is and turn the tables. The plan takes him on an incredibly suspenseful infiltration of CIA security, leading to a spectacular chunnel climax that would make Hitchcock proud. Thanks to crisp, inventive direction from Brian De Palma and Danny Elfman's dynamite electronica score (including a catchy update of the original Lalo Schifrin theme), this mission is great fun. The talented roster of stars backing Cruise includes Ving Rhames, Vanessa Redgrave, John Voight, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Jean Reno. A witty script by Robert Towne (CHINATOWN, SHAMPOO) and David Koepp keeps the ball rolling in unexpected directions, with the paranoia always set to high. A box-office record-setter during its original release, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE led to a well-deserved sequel, also with Cruise and Rhames.
