Mission: Impossible III
(USA/Germany, 2006, 124 minutes)
IMF agent Ethan Hunt goes rogue to save his fiancee from the hands of a merciless arms dealer. Third in the series of star vehicles based on the 1960s spy TV series is a welcome if flawed attempt to give emotional resonance to what is essentially a succession of daring action setpieces; the star hinders as much as it helps a script that doesn’t seem to have been developed enough.
Paramount Pictures presents a Cruise-Wagner production, in association with MI 3 Film. Starring Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ving Rhames, Billy Crudup, Michelle Monaghan, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Keri Russell, Maggie Q, and Laurence Fishburne. Directed by J. J. Abrams; produced by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner; screenplay by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci and J. J. Abrams, based on the TV series Mission: Impossible created by Bruce Geller; music by Michael Giacchino; director of photography, Dan Mindel; production designer, Scott Chambliss; costume designer, Colleen Atwood; film editors, Maryann Brandon and Mary Jo Mackey; visual effects supervisor, Roger Guyett.
