Mission: Impossible III

It's all about the rhythm and timing with this film and it is spot on. J.J. Abrams and his writing team have crafted a thriller with just the right amount of plot and stunts. And those stunts are stunning. They occur at just the right intervals and are thrilling to watch. Love Tom Cruise doing what he does best... purse lips, moisten eyes, look smoldering. You go Tom! Phillip Seymour Hoffman is frightening as the angry arms dealer. Loved that he did not camp up the part as some other actors might have done. Laurence Fishburne also deserves a notice in a role that had the audience laughing regularly even though he plays the annoying by the book administrator. Surprised to see the blatant dig at the Bush Administration's war policy near the end. Entertainment and politics do mix!
Favorite moment: The opening sequence.
