Mission Impossible III
Mission Impossible III. Where’s the McGuffin? Where’s the McGuffin? Where’s the Rabbi.. McGuffin?
That is the movie in a nut shell.
While I went into the theatre hoping for some of that magical summer movie magic, this film did not deliver. It was more like the magic found on the boob tube. That can be the case since the director, JJ Abrams, was responsible for “Lost” and “Alias.” Speaking of which, I had the distinct feeling that if they spent anymore time at the IMF headquarters, they’d find Sydney Bristow somewhere in the back.
A lot of the tropes, Abrams used was straight out of his television series. For example, the opening sequence harkens back to Alias’s first episode. Whatever?!
