Mission:Possible w/ Oscar Guy Phillip

Is there any role out there that Phillip Seymore Hoffman can't breathe life into?
He seems to know just how to command his acting ability to stand up and take notice without having to behave too badly. And this role is no different. He has the honor to smack around Tom Cruise and that seems to be the new game these days. I don't feel the need to play but everyone else seems to want to. So Phillip actually gets the chance and he seems thrilled to death about it. Some of those Tom and Phillip scenes are the best scenes around and you just know that somewhere Tom is pulling those feelings from the fact that Phillip has won the Oscar and yet again Tom gets screwed. That has got to piss him off that after all his Oscar nominated roles here is relative "new comer" Phillip and BOOM he wins best actor. Not fair indeed. But the way Tom treats him in the plane has me thinking...Someone is a bit jealous. :)
The only thing wrong with this offering is towards the end I got lost as to who the true villain was. I understand that with these Mission moives you want to throw curve balls and have surprise twists but I feel they needed to add just a bit more storyline to explain how everything feel together. And the main "Death" scene was totally bogus. BOO Mr. Lost/Alias for not giving us a better death.
But all in all it was the best Mission to date and I urge all thrill seekers to take the plundge. You will love most of this movie and leave with a smile.
That is is you choose to take the mission...
