Storyline
Super-spy Ethan Hunt has retired from active duty to train new IMF
agents. But he is called back into action to confront the toughest
villain he's ever faced - Owen Davian, an international weapons and
information provider with no remorse and no conscience. Hunt assembles
his team: his old friend Luther Strickell, transportation expert Declan,
and background operative Zhen. They are to rescue one of his very own
trainees, Lindsey who was kidnapped while on a surveillance detail of
Davian. It soon becomes evident that Davian is well-protected,
well-connected, and downright malicious. This forces Hunt to extend his
journey back into the field in order to rescue his wife, Julia, and
uncover IMF double agents in the process.
In
this third film of the series, Ethan Hunt has retired from the field,
and is training new agents…. His sweetheart Julia (Michelle Monaghan)
thinks he works for the Department of Transportation…
When one
of his pupils is kidnapped by a sadistic arms dealer Owen Davian (Philip
Seymour Hoffman), Hunt decides to assemble his old team to retrieve
her, putting in mortal danger his new love…
J.J. Abrams—in his
first feature film—shot "Mission: Impossible III" with a sense of timing
and suspense… We're dealing with full-flash blanks, glass breaking,
explosions… And we see Hunt, in a quite interesting shot, running up a
wall to enter the Vatican… Also, in the bridge sequence, he runs away
from a rocket hit on one of the vehicles… It's cool because the way he's
running, the look on his face, before, during and after that impact
could only have been done only by an actor as good as him… In China, in
an old fishing village, we see him jumping off tile rooftops, with
incredible grace, precision, coordination and footwork… Then, with
Lindsey Farris (Keri Russell) they jump out of a building on a cable
landing on a truck…
