People revisit Mission: Impossible II for the same reason it broke through in 2000: clear stakes, memorable faces, and a action rhythm that doesn't stall in the middle. John Woo keeps the ensemble pointed in one direction. The adventure and action blend is the engine: it lets the film shift registers without feeling like two different movies stitched together.
