Mission: Impossible II

More of a fashion magazine photo spread than an action film, this sequel to 1996’s Mission: Impossible showcases some snazzy stunts courtesy of Hong Kong action director John Woo. But there’s no real vision here, aside from the slavish devotion to slow-motion shots of Tom Cruise’s perfectly coifed hair.
