Review - Mission Impossible 3

"Mission Impossible 3" is the third part of the movie series based on the late 1960's-early 1970's television series. IMF Agent Ethan Hunt is now semi-retired, training new agents to go out into the field. When one of his students is reported as missing, he goes back to attempt to find her...as well as a terrorist weapons supplier and a top-secret item known simply as "The Rabbit's Foot". But it turns out...there may be a mole inside IMF itself. Who can be trusted?
The "MI" movie series aren't the greatest spy action movies you could ask for...but they are entertaining, if nothing else. The action sequences are fantastic, and there is just enough of a semblance of a plot to keep you along for the ride. There are a few parts that could have gone into greater detail...and one major plot point that is never explained...but the movie holds up well enough to let it slide.
There are better movies...but for an entertaining action flick, "MI 3" completes the assignment. And this message won't self-destruct in fifteen seconds, either.
Starring - Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Keri Russell, and Laurence Fishburne. Directed by J.J. Abrams.
Time - 2 hours, 6 minutes. Rated - PG-13 (Action violence, language, sensuality)
