Follows nicely on from the third.

Rating: Null/10 (9 May 2012)

Ethan Hunt a member of the Impossible Missions Force (IMF)and his team race against time to stop a nuclear war before they are arrested for a terrorist attack on the Kremlin.
Ghost Protocol is packed with plenty of spy espionage, double crossings, drama, disguises and action (pretty much what the original series renowned for). While the plot is a pretty standard affair it's the leading cast that make Protocol so appetizing, the dialogue is witty, the characters have great interaction and the set ups are less than predicable with lots of things not going as smooth as the character would like.
Stunning Paula Patton is a strong actor and handles the action wonderfully. Tom Cruise's stunt work is breathtaking. The character of Hunt is much more accessible as you watch him stew over the events of MI3. Simon Pegg provides some balanced humour. Notable is Jeremy Renner who shows he's not just a action star but a great actor. Also Léa Seydoux as Sabine Moreau and Josh Holloway as Trevor Hanaway both leave an impact in their small roles.
Director Brad Bird delivers some fantastic visuals, the film is a well executed production and surpasses first two instalments and equals the third in entertainment value and style. The special effects are wonderfully integrated, this coupled with a great score, polished script and great locations allow Mission Impossible 4 to stand out.
Overall, while lighter than the previous instalment and not as enthralling as the likes of Bourne - Protocol is a impressive piece of entertainment.
