@eddiebinge reviews: Mission: Impossible III (2006) 

Eddie plays: Brownway (IMDb link)

Mission: Impossible III treats us to the third instalment of the “popular” Hollywood blockbuster action series. This edition returns Ethan (Tom Cruise) to the screen as a retired spy drafted back into the field to tackle baddie Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman), an evil arms dealer. The film features many an explosion, some nifty gadgets and Ethan’s wife being kidnapped. You know... just your every day, average action film. 

Eddie plays Brownway, Davian’s right-hand man. When we started watching, we were quite excited by Eddie’s name appearing dramatically beside Simon Pegg’s (who’s in it a fair amount) in the opening titles, thinking he was going to be in it a lot. However, we think Hollywood was just exploiting Eddie’s good name here, as his screen time was limited. 

In Brownway’s two scenes, we see him outrun gunshots in a nice suit and inject an electronic charge up Tom Cruise’s nose. Nice. 

Favourite moment:

Eddie’s two lines, in full:

Cuteometer rating: [7] 

While we don’t see Brownway getting up to any real “evil” deeds, he does work for the main baddie, so we’ve scored him a creepy seven.

Bingo score: [1/9]

☑ Cops & Robbers

Our rating:  ★

If you’re into cheesy, unrealistic action movies, Mission Impossible will probably be right up your street, but it’s not really our cup of tea!
