What they share

Theyboth carry the playful, unhinged mood tags, and they sit in Action / Adventure / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to xXx, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Mission: Impossible II is

Sydney harbor at dusk, a yacht's engines roaring. A rogue IMF agent sells a deadly virus, Ethan Hunt pursues. This sequel lands as a showcase for John Woo's kinetic action style.
