MissionImpossible-GhostProtocol movie tralier

This is the best movie in the franchise since Brian de Palma launched it in 1996, and the director is Brad Bird, an animator by training, who made Pixar's Ratatouille and The Incredibles. Here he has a budget large enough and an Imax screen wide enough to allow him to do anything he fancies. In consequence the movie is visually remarkable as it tries to keep up with the frenetic activities of secret agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise accepting an impossible mission for the fourth time) and his new trio of likable operatives: beautiful, resourceful Paula Patton, pawky computer wizard Simon Pegg and constantly fretting analyst Jeremy Renner.

mission impossible 4 movie review

After a rash of red-baiting anti-communist films in the early 1950s, the popular cinema of the English-speaking world largely abandoned communist villains in favour of conspiratorial freelance crooks (like "Spectre" in the Bond movies) and trouble-making renegades. This canny practice continues, and in the fourth big-screen spin-off of long-running TV espionage series Mission: Impossible the villain is Kurt Hendricks (Michael Nyqvist), a deranged Swedish nuclear scientist trying to create a third world war by fomenting conflict between the United States and Russia. The plot is much the same as that in the latest Sherlock Holmes picture, though the aim here is the quite literal end of civilisation as we know it so that a newly cleansed world can open up for mankind.

This is the best movie in the franchise since Brian de Palma launched it in 1996, and the director is Brad Bird, an animator by training, who made Pixar's Ratatouille and The Incredibles. Here he has a budget large enough and an Imax screen wide enough to allow him to do anything he fancies. In consequence the movie is visually remarkable as it tries to keep up with the frenetic activities of secret agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise accepting an impossible mission for the fourth time) and his new trio of likable operatives: beautiful, resourceful Paula Patton, pawky computer wizard Simon Pegg and constantly fretting analyst Jeremy Renner.

With an ultra-violent pre-credit sequence in Budapest and a brief, sentimental coda in Seattle, the picture moves from an ingenious jail break in Moscow to Dubai and thence to Mumbai, and there are chases and shoot-outs as Hunt's team use their state-of-the-art equipment and considerable ingenuity to frustrate Hendricks. Two sequences are breathtaking. The first is an explosion that blows up half of the Kremlin. The second sees Cruise clinging to the plate-glass and stainless steel surface of the 130th floor of Dubai's Burj Khalifa tower, the world's tallest building, with only a pair of adhesive gloves to stop him falling. Bird manages the escalations from the preposterous through the more preposterous to the most preposterous with skill and wit, but there isn't much time for developing complex relationships when you're constantly accepting missions to save the world.

Mission impossible 4 movie review

After a hiatus of five years, super-spy Ethan Hunt, who kayoed the global box office in three movies, has chosen accept a new assignment. And it's reassuring to see that Tom Cruise is still fighting fit for the fourth Marking the non-animated directing debut of Brad Bird (The Incredibles), …Ghost Protocol strives to make something spectacular out of familiar material. The screenplay is a sort of throwback to the Cold War era. Much like its hero, the plot is constantly in motion bouncing between Budapest, Moscow, Dubai and Mumbai.

Right away we zero in on Hunt (Cruise) who’s carrying out an undercover operation from a Moscow jail. Go figure! But after the Kremlin is blown to smithereens by a mysterious villain, the elite agent and his crack team (Jeremy Renner-Patton-Simon Pegg) are disbanded. They must now carry out their mission — to avert a nuclear war, no less — without any official assistance from the the US government.

To be sure, the baddie brigade has an ice cube's chance in hell to survive. On the other hand, Hunt does the impossible: his periodical escapes from tight spots would even impress James Bond. Though it has less to offer than the earlier editions, the action is plentiful with stunts to knock your socks off. An extended scene with Cruise dangling outside the world's tallest building — the Burj Khalifa in Dubai — holds us in a vice-like grip.

Expectedly, political issues take a back seat to the thriller trappings. Also, the female sidekick role is underwritten and Paula Patton comes across as one-dimensional.

Anil Kapoor is impressive in the small but significant role of a Mumbai-based tycoon. The real star of the show, of course, is Tom Cruise. The astonishingly agile actor also serves as the film’s executive producer.

In sum, Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol makes for a fairly enjoyable popcorn matinee.
