Nice work. Doesn't do any harm to the old series, even has some hints to point the relation. Tom Cruise isn't my favorite player but this suits him. Only the way he runs ..... looks really silly. |

With some clever homages to the original series, Mission: Impossible is an exciting and fun movie, which spawned an often very-fun (with the exception of the second film) franchise. Tom Cruise plays his best action role and the supporting cast provides a good balance of action and humor. |

Nothing augers success like ripping off a tv show and plopping Tom Cruise into the lead chair, eh? Not really. I've seen this once since it came out. I may see it again if I forget what I thought about it the first time. Spies and treachery. Redundant? |

"Mission Impossible" by Yojimbo |
|
When a deep cover operative's entire team is murdered on a mission, he becomes the prime suspect for their betrayal and so puts together a rogue team to steal a top secret document and draw the true culprit out of the shadows. Mission: Impossible was one of the first of the new generation of conspiracy action thrillers, and it's showing its age a little. It all looks rather quaint to the point of corn in the post-Bourne era and the antiquated technology, cheap looking effects and predictable plot suffer immeasurably compared to its modern day counterparts. On the plus side it has a great cast, and despite my loathing of hack director Brian De Palma, his unsophisticated comic strip direction actually works in the context of a kitsch TV show adaptation. It has some inventive moments and goo... |

This is a very effective spy film because it does not fully rely on action scenes in order for it to be exciting. There's a lot of hiding, double-crosses, and technical devices that carry this film. I must salute the last twenty minutes or so of the film for being engaging even though there was barely any dialogue. A lot of people believe that this movie is confusing, especially if one goes on a bathroom break. I can see why it may seem complex for a casual moviegoer because it does have tiny details that can impact the overall, big picture. There's a lot of "Hey, that didn't really happen... did it?" or "It could have gone the other way... but did it?" and I think that is part of the film's brilliance. This is my second favourite out of the first three and I am highly recommending it for... |
