What is going on with Tom Cruise's hair in Mission: Impossible 2? I spent literally the whole of the two-hour and 3 minutes run time of the John Woo-directed 2000 movie enthralled by what action was up next for Ethan Hunt's long-flowing mane.
Indeed, I think Woo must have been equally enchanted by Cruise's hair as the constant slow-motion shots kept zooming in on every single magnificent strand. Ethan looks kind of like a surfer dude with his messy layered locks and perhaps that's to fit in with the Aussie setting as the spy chases Dougray Scott's forgettable villain Sean Ambrose around Oz. Even at the start of the movie, where Ethan's hanging off a rock, the camera is fixated on Cruise's mop as it darts about in the breeze.
