Sensational, implausible, irresistible to teens.

De Palma has a choppy, episodic sense of story, and he crafts individual scenes rather than telling a single unified story.
July 18, 2008
It's a mission De Palma shouldn't have chosen to accept.

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.

Too devious for its own good.

The film tries to push against its genre, and the auteurist flourishes are unmistakable.

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.

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.

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

Humorless, charmless and flat.
January 01, 2000
An infinite trailer that is all effects, no affect.
May 20, 2008
The most dour, sexless piece of escapism in memory.
