Over the years, Impossible mission has established itself as the most constant and enjoyable saga born in Hollywood. From episode to episode, the franchise led with an iron fist by Tom Cruise has never ceased to amaze us with its breathtaking intrigues and its spectacular stunts (a large majority of which are carried out by the actor-star , At his own risk). Where James Bond has regularly experienced weak times during his long eventful history, the journey of Impossible mission approach flawless.

Four years after the success of the first opus, Tom Cruise and Impossible mission return with a highly anticipated second opus. Entrusted to Hong Kong director John Woo, Mission: Impossible 2 is a perfect summary of what an early 2000s blockbuster could look like. For better and (too) often for worse. Epileptic montage stuffed with clippesque slow motion, clumsy romanticism and a horrible nu metal rereading of the musical theme by Limp Bizkit: this second part looks like the perfect parody of what Impossible mission represented. Even if Tom Cruise, of all things, climbs a cliff with his bare hands and wants to prove to us that Impossible mission don’t make fun of us with the show. Despite incendiary reviews, the film was a hit in 2000, rising to the top of the most lucrative productions of that year, ahead of Gladiator by Ridley Scott and Alone in the world by Robert Zemeckis.
