At the Movies: Want explosions? 'M:I3' delivers

By CHRISTY LEMIRE
AP Movie Critic

Tom Cruise is so much more than just tabloid fodder and the father of Katie Holmes' baby.

Sometimes he's also a movie star — "the most exciting and successful star in the world," if you choose to accept the hype for "Mission: Impossible III," which isn't so much the latest sequel in an astronomical summer franchise as it is a replay of some of Cruise's best-known hits.


MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE III

Director: J.J. Abrams

Cast: Tom Cruise, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ving Rhames, Billy Crudup, Michelle Monaghan, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Maggie Q, Keri Russell

Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of frenetic violence and menace, disturbing images and some sexuality

Running time: 127 minutes
