Yeah, we really enjoyed this movie, great action in an almost impossible mission.

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2012)

You know after a while the actual plot of these 'Mission Impossible' movies isn't really that important. I doubt that any of us really care that much about the story. We enjoy these movies, if we enjoy them at all, for the stupefying action and the highly improbably escapes from what seems like sure disaster.
Tom Cruise of course is back as Ethan Hunt, the absolute best I.M.F agent. And even though he is close to turning 50 (later in 2012) he still does most of his stunts and can run with the best of them. Here the mission becomes to stop a terrorist who wants to start a nuclear war, that will deplete all civilizations equally, because he figures that will allow humanity a fresh start.
The pretty girl this time is Paula Patton as Jane Carter. (Is that a take-off from John Carter??) I was not already familiar with her body of work but she turns out quite good for this role. Another member of the team is Brit Simon Pegg as computer expert Benji Dunn. And the fourth is Jeremy Renner as William Brandt.
The villain is Michael Nyqvist (of 'Dragon Tattoo' fame) as Kurt Hendricks .
Can you guess if the I.M.F. team succeeds to get the codes and disarm the nuclear device right before it destroys San Francison? Hint ... San Francisco is still there! Good entertainment, even though ti runs over 2 hours it was thrilling all the way through.
