“Mission: Impossible 2” is inconceivably stupid and overdone at times. The film is so darn right ridiculous that it’s hard to take your eyes off of the madness of it all. The movie was directed by John Woo (“Face/Off”, “Hard Boiled”) so it’s not surprising.

In “Mission: Impossible 2”, we find out that a rogue agent (Dougray Scott “Hitman”) is on his way to steal a new genetically modified and lethal disease. He intends to use it to poison the world only so he can sell the cure to make a massive profit for himself. Then we find our favourite top secret agent, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise “Top Gun”, “Mission: Impossible”), is on the case after his holiday climbing up a mountain in a ridiculous yet fun scene is cut short. After his team is located, Ethan sets out to catch his villainous adversary. Also, on the way, he must choose between everything he loves and everything he believes in.

Tom Cruise is amusing as Ethan Hunt. He’s a generally likeable character but is overdone by Cruise’s acting. Dougray Scott is unmemorable as the villain Sean Armbrose, although he’s twisted and has a decent scheme and the performance is relatively good he blends in with the crowd of modern standard spy movie villains.

“Mission: Impossible 2” is unapologetically stupid and darn right weird at points but this spy movie contains some of the most entertaining yet ridiculous action scenes I’ve ever seen. When the good guy and bad guy, who are both on motorcycles, fiercely roar their engines and drive at each other and jump into the air and tackle each other, I was giggling so hard my sides were on the verge of splitting. “Mission: Impossible 2” is all-round an okay movie and a relatively average sequel but unless you really need to see the motorcycle scene, I say skip it as there are much better spy flicks out there.
