| Bad ass movie |
After hearing about a fourth film in the Mission Impossible franchise, I wanted to facepalm. Why are they doing this again? Does Tom Cruise need money that bad? This franchise doesn't need another film. The 4th film is like a kill shot for most franchises but this one seemed to differ. Just like Fast and Furious delivered the goods, Mission Impossible 4 does about the same. It's action packed and gives us a few stunts that left our jaws opened. It's a good film to see to end 2011.
STORY
The story picks up in Moscow where Ethan Hunt, played by Tom Cruise, is being held captive. He was imprisoned for going ape shit after his wife was killed. He is enlisted to gather files about an agent code named Cobalt. Hunt and his team is found out by an unknown agent and the building is blown up. Agent Sidirov believes that it is Ethan behind the screwjob but the IMF is able to extract Ethan in time. The russians are calling this attack an act of war and are now planning on taking down it's enemies. The president, out of desperation, activates Ghost Protocol and sends Ethan on a mission with his new team.

The acting here is pretty good. Tom Cruise is his usual self; cocky, serious, sarcastic, and looking like he ages like a Highlander immortal. Jeremy Renner was a delight to see and Simon Pegg added the much needed comedy. The chemistry with the team was great to see but I felt the villians needed to be more menacing. For an action movie like this you would expect to have a chill run down your spine whenever they would walk on screen. I felt none but that didn't stop them from trying. Overall the acting is passable and surprisingly enjoyable.

The effects here are easy on the eyes. The action scenes are top notch and I could feel the action explode on screen. I was never fond of the face masking but it seemed to pay off in this one. Most of the action scenes are eyepopping and is worth seeing on the big screen. I perfer IMAX. How about you? P.S. You may get a little dizzy when Tom Cruise goes extreme on the worlds tallest building. Just hang on tight and try not to puke.

The film was written by Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemac. They did a wonderful job putting together a great script. The movie has a nice pace to it and the action is plentiful. The dialog is fun to hear and they were able to make and introduce some exciting characters. The film was directed by Brad Bird and he surprised everyone. He is able to bring the action close to home and make this film one to remember. Brad Bird has a great future ahead and can't wait to see what he will do next.
THE END
The film is the best in the franchise. That's a hard thing to back up but watch the film and you might agree. It's a fun movie to see before the year ends. You won't be disappointed if you like these type of movies. Tom Cruise is back on top and I think Katie Holmes can finally breathe a little. His ego has been served.

Hats off to tom cruise for doing that burj khalifa stunt..........(one can only understand when one himself stands at observation desk and see around). Movie Good but not as charismatic as previous parts....watching Anil kapoor surrendered to such filthy piece of role makes real uncomfortable............ as he himself is gem of its own kind but alas!
