Mini-Review: This would be just another enjoyably cheesy 80s movie if the acting wasn't so unbelievably grating.

Mini-Review: It attempts some hamfisted political one-liners, but like its characters' appearances, it's purely utilitarian. It says what sounds good in the scene without any kind of political, or even ethical, throughput. It might as well have abandoned the Mission: Impossible callbacks entirely, they only creep up in moments of bizarre anachronism, and certainly don't speak toward the changing nature of identity in any meaningful way, as in the first M:I entry. Tom Cruise looks like Michael Landon.

Mini-Review: Of all the times for Schumacher to reign it in...
