| | Professional Reviews | Washington Post 8 of 10 [1] In the tradition of the great paranoia thrillers of the 1970s, Cruise finds himself suddenly pitted against everyone and not sure whom to trust. The filmmakers... have outdone themselves. Mission is about suspense, plain and simple... - Desson Howe Entertainment Weekly 9 of 10 [2] ...shot for shot [the movie] is something all too rare: a believe-your-eyes thriller... Cruise...has become the most forcefully athletic of our action demigods... he holds the screen, from that pressure-drop opening on, with the lean eloquence of his physical alacrity... M:I-2 has what the Bond films have long lost: the ability to surprise. - Owen Gleiberman
