What used to be an IMF team effort turned into another star vehicle for Tom Cruise.

Despite the snags, De Palma remains a virtuoso puppet-master, pulling the strings taut in a nail-biting robbery sequence, switching from micro to macro with Hitchcockian panache, and finally letting rip with a hell-for-leather climax.

An infinite trailer that is all effects, no affect.
January 02, 2011
Sensational, implausible, irresistible to teens.

The film tries to push against its genre, and the auteurist flourishes are unmistakable.
May 20, 2008
The most dour, sexless piece of escapism in memory.
January 18, 2002
Humorless, charmless and flat.
July 27, 2015
Still holds up as a fun, unique entry in the action spy genre and launched Tom Cruise's second career arc as an action megastar.

It's a mission De Palma shouldn't have chosen to accept.

There are just a few groovy special effects and a practically incomprehensible story which we finally can't work up enough energy to care about.
October 29, 2008
De Palma has a choppy, episodic sense of story, and he crafts individual scenes rather than telling a single unified story.

Too devious for its own good.
