SOUNDBITE: Brad Bird, director, saying (English)
"One of the challenges of any sequel particularly a third sequel is you have a lot of audience expectation going in but I think you can run straight at those expectations and play with them and zig when the audience are expecting you to zag and I think that's what we did in this movie."
The flick is packed with creative stunts, explosive action scenes, and even Cruise hanging from the world's tallest building.
