Well, our hopes that MI3 might do its part to overwhelm certain other films opening in a couple of weeks have been dashed by pretty wretched opening weekend box office (not surprising, to be honest), but I was intrigued by this nugget in Anthony Lane’s review of the film:

Hence our pleasure at seeing Ethan in the cassock of an Italian priest, strolling through the gardens of the Vatican. This is the prelude to a headlong passage of action—the unmistakable core of the movie—in which the team invades the Holy City in a bid to kidnap Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman), who has been identified as the most dangerous ginger-haired threat to global peace. He is on a sales trip, expecting to make eight hundred and fifty million dollars from something called the Rabbit’s Foot. I was never sure what the Foot consisted of, or who, if anyone, had assumed the role of the Rabbit, but it has to do with a small vacuum flask containing either a deadly, population-wiping serum or a skinny mochaccino to go. The mission involves a disposable orange Lamborghini, the cardinal-trumping sight of Zhen in a little red dress, and, on a less happy note, an explosive disguised as a crucifix. I can think of other faiths whose followers would riot for less.

Oh, good. And Poseiden comes out this weekend. What can we expect there? Priests pushing old ladies aside to jump in the lifeboats? Probably. Let’s make it three for three in the month of May for Catholics.

Anyway, go read the rest of the review anyway, just because, you know, Anthony Lane is great.
