alright hamster lovers, i have been benched on the couch all day with a bad case of bubble guts and have had a chance to review a few movies.
i know that somewhere along the lines (probably when it first came out and i saw it in the theater) i did a makeshift review of mission impossible 3.
it was almost good enough to let you forget that tom cruise is crazy. almost.
increasing the romantic factor in this flick helped to round it out into more of a complete story i think. the first one was “techno MI” as far as the theme was concerned and he didn’t have a love interest. just ving rhames.
in the second one, he fell for the girl by accident after hooking up with her. and then it was the whole last of the mohicans “i will find you” bullshit.
but the third one was pretty complete. minus the whole phillip seymour hoffman as the bad guy. that was tough for me to buy after he was the rich kid with the paint balloon prank in scent of a woman. or worse yet, one of the nut job tornado chasers in twister. not villian material.
it gets two out of four bananas on the monkey scale.
a history of voilence. what a great fucking movie. i rented it some time ago, but it has recently showed up again on hobo. i have always like viggo mortenson’s work. gi jane, carlito’s way, hidalgo, the perfect murder. he is a good actor.
and if you throw maria bello in there, its candy. as far as looks go, she is right up there with charlize theron i think. they kind of look alike.
a good story about a midwest guy that is a hero in a robbery but the publicity that follows may have opened up his secret past. good plot. awesome bad guy with ed harris and his butchered eye.
i was a little disgruntled with the william hurt philly portrayal, but the rest of the flick made up for it.
with the two realistic and phenomenal sex scenes (one a cheerleader outfit, one angry sex on steps) the rating should be a monkey spanking it, but its a three banana movie all the way!
