The best Mission: Impossible up to this point

Rating: 7/10 (10 June 2020)

Ghost Protocol, the fourth installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise delivers the goods. It gives the audiences what they expect. The film is full of death-defying and jaw dropping stunts, plenty of action and a touch of humor. The plot is absurd but that is not the point of Mission: Impossible. Its main purpose is to entertain and thrill and for the majority of its runtime it does just that. The cast delivers as well. At this point Tom Cruise was already established as one of the top action stars on the planet and its no surprise that he hit it out of the park one more time. Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton handled their roles admirably and Simon Pegg brought some much needed humor in his role as the brains of the operation. Ghost Protocol does not reinvent the wheel in the action/thriller genre but it gets the job done.
