Mission: Impossible II film review

Two reviews of the film. James Brundage, the exuberant fan: John Woo is back in the saddle again.

Jet Li’s War trailer online

The film once called Rogue, now called War, finally has a trailer. Looks like lots of action, as one should expect from a film starring Jet Li and Jason “Transporter” Statham.
