Plot |
This plot doesn't get much simpler; the bad guys have a deadly disease and the good guys, led by Cruise of course, are out to get it back.
|
Pros |
If you thought there wasn't enough action in the first movie, this one will make up for it; car chases, gun play, motorcycles, acrobatics, explosions, etc. And, like the first movie, they give the guys another beauty named Thandie Newton. Throw in a brief cameo by Anthony Hopkins and you have a film that's a little better than the original. |
Cons |
Simple storyline with the inevitable outcome; the good guy not only wins but also gets the girl. And the final battle on the motorcycles is more than just a little over-the-top. |
