Portland Oregonian
Moves with terrific energy, alternating riveting action sequences with intimate material in a manner that's pure Woo. - 80
Washington Post
The real deity of the movie is director Woo, who takes complete command of the latest technology -- hyperspeed editing, breathtaking cinematography, 10-out-of-10 stunt work -- to create brilliant action sequences. - 63
San Francisco Examiner
Woo delivers a vintage breakneck, break-arm, break-face 20-minute finale. - 63
Philadelphia Inquirer
Never as much fun as (Woo's) old Chow Yun Fat-starring Chinese pics. - 60
TV Guide Magazine
It's actually sharper, less reverential and generally better than "Misson: Impossible." - 50
Salon
Even the most spectacular things Woo unleashes here feel strangely impersonal. - 40
Chicago Reader
Dispenses so many rubber masks to allow the characters to swap identities that no hero or villain winds up carrying any moral weight at all. - 30
Variety
Even more empty a luxury vehicle than its predecessor, M:I 2 pushes the envelope in terms of just how much flashy packaging an audience will buy when there's absolutely nada inside.
