While it has its flaws, it is a much better film than John Woo's attempt. The characters and their interactions feel real and believable. This time, I felt invested and cared for Ethan's romance, and it is safe to say that Philip Seymour Hoffman's villain is the best part of the movie. Even with his short screen time, you feel the threat that he imposes, though I didn't like the rather absurd way he is taken out. However, it is also safe to say that the plot is the weakest point. It felt like the mission was a background thing for most of the time, while the characters developed in the foreground. Because we never know what Rabbit's Foot is, we don't have a sense of its danger. Action sequences were good, though I am not a big fan of the way they used the shaky cam.
