Mission Impossible 2

So, is this a John Woo movie or a Mission: Impossible movie? I’d say it’s more of a John Woo movie. Upon re-watching this for the first time in 20+ years, John Woo is wooing it up with the "gun-fu" all over the place. Slow motion, acrobatic, and doves. Lots of doves. Also, the music is kind of corny and even though the plot is simplistic, it makes almost no sense. Young Thandiwe Newton is good here, but she’s definitely a damsel and a pretty face, and not the bad-ass assassin types we see in the later movies. I’m sure I liked this at the time, but now it really feels like it’s from a bygone era.
