A John Woo action flick.  (Simple lot, stylish action and photography, really loud)  This is a good, engaging action movie with many plot hole.  So, check your brains in at the door and enjoy the ride. Nyah Hall (Thandie Newton) infects herself with a deadly virus to help reduce gun fire and save Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise). (Larry Broding)
bulletTransformation (Transfiguration), Call
bulletAt the beginning of the movie, Ethan Hunt is climbing a mountain. At one point, he hangs facing out from the cliff face, arms spread as though he were being crucified. He makes it to the top of the mountain, and stands looking out in a moment of exhilaration. Almost immediately, he is presented with the latest impossible mission, which will send him out to potential rejection and death -- "the secretary will disavow all knowledge..." (FUMC, Natchitoches, LA)
