MI-3

Not exactly the first show, but it sure was the first day. It was 100% pure adrenalin with the usual high jumps, long jumps and pole vaults over sky scrapers. No surprises there, but the movie was surprisingly serious, unlike it's predecessors. The reason could be the presence of heavyweights like Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman and our beloved Morpheus, Laurence Fishburne. I can confidently vouch that this is the best of all the three MI movies. And of course, there is the scintillating MI theme, which is more famous than the movie itself. And it would be a sin if I didn't mention Tom Cruise's acting, which is defintely worth mentioning in this short review. He did a very good job, acting withing his limitations and yet turning in a powerful performance. Overall it was a satisfactory experience for someone like me who was wondering what happened to the genre called Action Thriller.
