4.00 4/5.0
Pros:
Hoffman, story, direction

Romance, big ?twist?, ?Felicity?

"Mission: Impossible III" - How Bad Can Action-Adventure Films Be When J.J. Abrams Is Involved? Apr 26, 2007
2.00 2/5.0
Pros:
One or two moments of direction, writing and insinuation of character
Cons:
Predictable for fans of J.J. Abrams, Generally terrible acting, Surprisingly bad plot

Review: In a mindless action-adventure flick filled with shooting, running, jumping and the requisite number of explosions, "Mission: Impossible III" breaks J.J. Abrams successful streak.
