Mission: Impossible III
Film Review from a Christian Perspective

by Phil Boatwright

Given the synopsis and content, concerned parents and moviegoers can decide if the new releases are suitable for viewing. MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III. Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ving Rhames, Laurence Fishburne, Billy Crudup, Michelle Monaghan, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Keri Russell, Maggie Q.Paramount Pictures. Action/adventure. Written by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci & J. J. Abrams. Directed by J. J. Abrams. Opens 5/5/06.Tom Cruise returns as Special Agent Ethan Hunt, who faces the mission of his life when his bride to be is kidnapped by a vengeful super crook, a madman attempting to develop a computer virus that will not only destroy the Internet, but mankind as well. This Mission has had more obstacles than found in the entire TV series. Directors and cast came and went out of creative differences, the studio moved its intended 2005 release nearly a year beyond, and many in the industry began to wonder if the star's erratic personal behavior would hurt the film's boxoffice. To top it off, now that we can see it, the writers of the convoluted script expect us to disavow any connection with plausibility. Trying to make sense out of the convoluted script would take a special decoder device evidently handed out only to the film's producer. That said, this is the best action adventure film I've seen in years. Special effects abound, the action is breakneck, and its star remains charismatic, with a seductive smile granted by the gods of Thespian only to movie stars. And of course, there's that score. The Mission Impossible theme remains one of the best, topped only by 007's. The arrangement/orchestration here may even be better than the original. Lively, intense, the film accomplishes its mission. However, please read the content before deciding to attend.PG-13 (4 obscenities, 2 minor expletives and 2 profanities, one spoken by the film's star;there's a great deal of intense frenetic action involving brutal beatings, countless people killed by gunfire, and some disturbing imagery, as two women are held captive and subjected to harsh torture; the villain is also placed in a perilous situation where he is dangled from the bottom of jet; the action sequences become somewhat nerve-wracking; several people are wounded, their clothing spotted by blood; one steamy sex scene between the lead and his fianc»e; the unwed couple live together).Video Alternative: If you do not wish to support a film containing the profane use of God's name, try renting the 1965 espionage caper, The Ipcress File with Michael Caine. Although it suggests some sexual activity, it doesn't bombard your senses with a lot of rough language or sexuality like much of today's cinema, but rather focuses on a great spy story.For past reviews go to Phil Boatwright's website: www.moviereporter.com.DEFINITIONSCrudity—Lacking in culture, tactExpletive—An obscene word or phraseObscenity—Objectionable or repugnant to acceptable standards of decency or morality; indecent; pornographic; offensive in language or action.Profanity—Irreverence toward God or holy things.
