Mission: Impossible III Movie Review

Mission: Impossible III (2006)

The thrills come mad hot and wicked sweet in Mission: Impossible III, the movie to beat last summer of 2006, in the race to push your pulse rate past the danger zone with strong supporting cast, spectacular stunts, and engaging plot. This will be the third in a series of movies starring Tom Cruise based upon the 1960's TV series starring Martin Landau, following 1996's Mission: Impossible and 2000's Mission: Impossible 2.

Each "Mission: Impossible" film, by design, is different than every other, tending to take on the characteristics of the filmmakers making it, so it's no surprise that this iteration from "Alias" and "Lost" mastermind J.J. Abrams, making his directorial debut, greatly resembles his television work - particularly "Alias" - while taking advantage of films' ability to do large and stunning set pieces, of which M:i:III has several and all are generally very well executed. With a reported budget of $185 million, M:i:III is the most expensive movie ever undertaken by a first-time director.

It has a great opening action sequence, full of twists and turns with action elements occurring on multiple levels and engaging the entire cast. The film opens with an amazing, taut two-minute pre-credits teaser that leaves the audience desperate for more. Cruise, as secret agent Ethan Hunt, has been drugged, beaten and handcuffed to a chair. Baddie Philip Seymour Hoffman has kidnapped Ethan's wife, Julia (Michelle Monaghan), and he wants Ethan to watch as he tortures her. As Hoffman coos and flutters around the terrified woman, Cruise squints, blinks and bucks. Though it kind of spoils what happens later in the story, but it hooks the audience and pulls them fully on board for the ride in the movie.

Super-spy Ethan Hunt has retired from active duty to train new IMF agents. But he is called back into duty to confront the toughest villain he's ever faced - Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman), an international weapons and information provider with no remorse and no conscience in Berlin. Hunt assembles his team - his old friend Luther Strickell (Ving Rhames), transportation expert Declan (Jonathan Rhys Meyers), background operative Zhen (Maggie Q), and fresh recruit Lindsey (Keri Russell) - to travel the globe pursuing Davian. But the mission just results in the capturing of Lindsey and kidnapping of his wife, Julia. Now he's again in the mission to rescue his co-agent and most of all rescue his love, Julia in the hands of Davian.

For me, this is the most action-packed "Mission: Impossible" so far. If you're a fan of the previous "Mission: Impossible" films, I'm sure you'll be pleased with this sequel. It has all the action and suspense of its predecessors and it further develops the character of Ethan Hunt and his fellow spies. It also features more of the clever spy gadgets that would make James Bond green with envy. Fans of "Alias" should also be pleased with this film. Writer-director J.J. Abrams brings a lot of the elements that made "Alias" great into "Mission: Impossible III." There's international intrigue, romance, conspiracy, and tense action. It all comes together to make a solid and entertaining summer action flick.

The Brave One Movie Review

The Brave One (2007)

The Brave One starring Jodie Foster is in the same vain as her recent thrillers, Flightplan and Panic Room, only this one is grittier and more harrowing. Foster is such a good actress in thrillers: natural, unaffected, threatened, plucky, looking like she means it. And Neil Jordan's "The Brave One" gives her someone strong like her to play against.

The Brave One is an interesting revenge flick, although it is bloody and at times brutal, it doesn't revel in the violence. There's more to the movie than initially meets the eye for an eye. This is about the psychology of revenge and whether a person who takes a stance as a vigilante has crossed over an ambiguous moral line.

Foster plays Erica, a talk jock on a New York radio station where she walks the streets and observes the changes that are happening in the city she loves. She's engaged to a doctor named David (Naveen Andrews). On an unfortunate night that they were in Central Park, they were mugged, he's killed, and she's badly injured. Erica survives, at least physically. Emotionally, she's a hollow shell. She spent three weeks in the hospital recovering, then it took some time before she gathered the courage to venture outside of her apartment. Her illusion of a safe city life is destroyed. One day she bought a gun and practiced on a shooting range where you can see fear turning into anger in her eyes. Erica is fear later turns into a misguided purpose as she decides to take matters into her own hands by punishing bad guys on the street with her illegal nine millimeter. Detective Mercer (Terrence Howard) and his partner Vitale (Nicky Katt) are tracking down this vigilante killer; Erica steps forward at a crime scene and asks to interview Mercer. They developed this rapport as they discuss the ongoing investigation. Erica is terribly conflicted and puts herself right in his crosshairs when they go together to interview the one witness to her brand of justice. You gotta wonder how this is all going to end.

That kind of psychological suspense is what makes "The Brave One" spellbinding. The movie doesn't dine out on action scenes, but regards with great curiosity how these two people will end up. The Brave One is technically a thriller. There is tension and uncertainty, and an unconventional cat-and-mouse game plays out between Erica and Mercer. There's a connection between them but when they face each other on the benighted streets of New York, they are on opposite sides of that uncertain demarcation between law and justice. The Brave One is a smart and thought-provoking motion picture that re-examines a genre without violating its conventions.

The Seeker: The Dark Rising

With the successful film versions of the "Harry Potter" and "Narnia" books, it's no surprise that similar works are getting the big screen treatment, and Susan Cooper's "The Dark Is Rising" sequence is the latest in the bunch. The Seeker is based upon the 5-book young adults fantasy series of novels The Dark is Rising, especially the second book in the series, which is also titled "The Dark is Rising.", a winner of the Newberry Honor and a runner-up to the Newberry Medal Award in 1974.

The series of young-adult fantasy novels this flick is based upon long predate Harry Potter, they were written in the 1960s and 70's. Like Harry Potter, the main character in The Seeker is a teenage boy learning how to employ magical powers against evil. So naturally, critics are comparing it to the Potter movies. But i found that this first installment in a film fantasy series, could turn out to be the new Harry Potter. It has also a magic that drive the watcher's instinct of expecting more adventure by the main character. So better wait for its other installments. I'm sure the story gets even better and exiting in its next sequel as Will's adventure continues.
