This was famed Pixar director Brad Bird""s live-action directorial debut film.It was the first film in the series to be released in IMAX.The film""s running gag was that many of IMF""s high-tech gadgets didn""t work as expected: the mission message delivered in a decrepit Russian phone booth that didn""t self-destruct, unreliable glass-scaling suction gloves, the facial latex mask-making machine, etc.We have footprints, tire tracks.We have bullets strewn on the ground which bear his fingerprints.A broken bourbon bottle, likewise with fingerprints.And most of all, we have a beautiful young woman and her lover lying dead in each other""s arms.They had sinned.But was their crime so great as to merit a death sentence?...A revolver holds six bullets, not eight.I submit that this was not a hot-blooded crime of passion.That, at least, could be understood if not condoned.No - this was revenge of a much more brutal and cold blooded nature.Consider this.Four bullets per victim.Not six shots fired but eight.That means that he fired the gun empty and then stopped to reload so that he could shoot each of them again.Luckily, Howard was able to use his stage adaptation, with 14 different scenes, as the basis for the film""s screenplay.Jason speared and broke he windshield, as Lizabeth crawled out of the car into the mud.He stood atop her as she begged for her life (offering him money and her American Express credit card from her wallet).
