Thanks to director J.J. Abrams, "Mission: Impossible III" surpasses the missed opportunities of filmmakers Brian De Palma and John Woo by returning to the core elements of the classic TV series. In the memorable villain department, Philip Seymour Hoffman kicks it up a notch and gives IMF agent Tom Cruise a run for his money. The pace rarely lags as Abrams stages several stunt-filled setpieces while surrounding Cruise with a solid acting ensemble. Unfortunately, the film's perfunctory climax squanders a potentially exciting showdown between Cruise and Hoffman - an obvious sign of budgetary shortcuts. Despite this lapse, the third time is definitely the charm for the "Mission: Impossible" franchise.
As series go, MI lacks the tension and interest of the Bourne trilogy, but it's entertaining, none the less. The plot is not as strong as the first, the twists aren't without slightly heavy-handed foreshadowing, but it's better than the second in the series, hands down. Though I love gadgets, I'd like to see them with a viable, not over-the-top 'vengeance is mine' mania. MI-III just pushes that envelope too much for me. Forgetting Cruise's recent unfortunate publicity issues, he seems to pass through each scene with the same grim mini-smile and determined stare, which made it hard to feel as if I were watching Ethan Hunt and not Tom Cruise gritting his teeth for another action sequence. And like the motorcycle pas de deux in the second installment, some of the action sequences just stepped a major stride outside of believable, and into the realm of, well, the impossible. But then, I like to see my action heroes do things that seem very, very difficult, but not out of the realm of humanly possible. Maybe that's just me. Beat them up, but don't turn them into superheroes. After all, what's fun about Superman if there's no kryptonite?
