It’s clearly intended to raise the stakes by adding a more personal motive for Hunt but it doesn’t really work – if only because the relationship has never seemed particularly believable. It’s notable for being the film that first tries to introduce some kind of private life for Ethan Hunt and, while Michelle Monaghan turns in a decent performance as Julia Meade, this aspect is a little soppy and uninteresting. The plot is a little too convoluted, what with the ridiculous ‘Rabbit’s Foot’ MacGuffin and all, and it’s altogether just slightly more dreary and a little less fun than all of the other entries in the franchise. Mission: Impossible III is a perfectly good movie but despite the presence of one of the franchise’s best villains in Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s Owen Davian, it’s the one that sticks out the least.
