A whole mess of fun., 8 January 2008
8/10
Author: Rockwell_Lestrange from United States

Certainly one of, if not the, best action films of the decade. A wickedly fun ride with some amazing cinematography and gorgeously intense action scenes. Philip Seymour Hoffman delivers another top-notch performance as one of the greatest villains in cinema history. Billy Crudup is perfectly cast. Though their roles are particularly small, Keri Russell and Simon Pegg could not have been cast more perfectly. I absolutely adore Keri Russell as well. She's so cute and sweet, yet she plays a gun-blaring badass with ease. However the film goes a bit over the top sometimes, and I was really desperate to murder Jonathan Rhys Meyers any time he came on screen. His character is so corny and weak with some of the worst lines I've ever heard. I really wanted him dead every time he spoke. And although it's been a decade, I still can't believe Tom Cruise as a badass secret agent. He's much more believable in this one though, I'll be honest. Easily one of the better films of the straight up action genre.
