I really wish someone had told me how bad this was!
Actually, I knew full well what I was getting into. I just kind of wanted to see the insane stunts. I think the car chase in Rome was awesome and I loved the train wreck escape. I thought the motorcycle off the cliff was kind of dull and kind of chopped up. If you have one of the biggest stars in the world drive a motorcycle off a cliff, you should use one long take.
I did like Pom. Such a change from her role as Mantis in the Guardian films. I love that Henry Czerny has a had a thirty year career playing versions of the sleazy bureaucrat. You might remember him playing the same sort of role in Clear and Present Danger.
So much talking for an action film. There were at least three scenes of info dumps. Talk. Talk. Talk.
I felt like we just saw a film where the rogue AI runs the world using cutouts. Or maybe that's a book I just read (Grey Man series) Regardless, I'm tired of that plot. The Queen kept saying how dumb everything was in the film. Dumb and more dumb. And it ends on cliff hanger!
The masks signal to me that this is Mission Impossible. When the first film came out an there weren't masks, I eschewed that film for lack of masks. All Masks. All the time. And in this film, I really like the first use of the masks. It made up for the ten minute info dump scene that preceded it.
We are in Venice. Bad guy waits on the bridge. Why not just turn around and go somewhere else? He doesn't have anything you need. Walk away. Nope.
See this film for the car chase in Rome and the train scene.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
