Mission: Impossible II (2000)

Agent Ethan neemt het op tegen zijn vroegere wapenbroeder Sean Ambrose, een man die alles van hem heeft geleerd, maar nu zijn aartsvijand is geworden. Beide mannen azen op een genetisch gemanipuleerd virus, 'Chimera' genaamd. In minder dan één etmaal kan het een hele stad ombrengen. Ambrose heeft het antidotum bij de uitvinder gestolen en heeft dus al een eerste punt gescoord. Er rest hem alleen nog de hand te leggen op de dodelijke stam, die wordt geteeld in een ultrageheim laboratorium in Sidney, om één van 's werelds rijkste en gevaarlijkste mensen te worden.

Director John Woo brings Hong Kong-style martial arts action to this comic book-flavored sequel that eschews the complicated plot and political maneuverings of its predecessor in favor of pure, adrenaline-charged thrills.

. Summoned by the new IMF chief (Anthony Hopkins in an uncredited cameo role), Ethan is assigned to recruit the help of Ambrose's former lover Nyah Nordoff-Hall (Thandie Newton), a gorgeous woman who left Ambrose broken-hearted and who may be able to quickly regain his confidence. Once he meets and spends a night with Nyah, however, Ethan is smitten, and now must both capture Ambrose and keep Nyah alive as she infiltrates a nest of vipers. Sophisticated disguises, gun battles, and high-speed chases are the order of the day, very much in the James Bond mold. Mission: Impossible 2 is based on a story by Star Trek: The Next Generation writers Ronald D. Moore and Brannon Braga, with a script polish by Robert Towne.

John Woo raises the action bar in this violent, romantic sequel to Brian De Palma's 1996 original. Tom Cruise is back as Ethan Hunt, this time battling wits with rogue IMF agent Sean Ambrose (Dougray Scott).

Ambrose is after the killer Chimera virus and its antidote, Bellerophon; in the old days Am...

brose would have been after world domination, but in this new world order of day trading and Internet stocks, all he wants is to corner the market and make a fortune.

Woo outdoes even himself with a flurry of martial-arts fights, fiery shootouts, thrilling mountain climbing, and blazing motorcycle chases that lead from the beautiful peaks of Utah through the busy streets of Sydney. All of this is set to a booming hard-rock soundtrack that battles with the explosions and blasting guns for ear space. And he doesn't fail to include his trademark birds fluttering like peaceful interludes in the most threatening of moments.
