yeah, Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell played the leads, directed by Michael Mann (same dude that did excellent movies like Collateral and Heat) and it was actually pretty good.
Michael Mann has a very short but good bio

Thief is very underrated, its a great movie.  Then Last of the Mohicans, Heat, The Insider, Ali, Collateral, Miami Vice, Public Enemies.  Ali is probably the worst movie he put out in a 20 year span

A movie loses me the moment there's a 2nd realistic-looking mask reveal happens.
Fuck that. 
Then anyone could be anyone, what's the point?
MI might be the weirdest franchise ever.  The first one was so good that FX started airing the original show.  Then 2 was one of the worst action movies I've ever seen, and 3 sort of revived it.  Then from 4 on, they have been consistently great.  Not sure what the continuity is, but Marvel ruined that for everyone.  At least MI stuck to just making entertaining movie after entertaining movie.  Even James Bond got bogged down trying to put continuity into the recent films
