Wholly Forgettable

Rating: 4/10 (8 January 2012)

I am flabbergasted at how this movie got such positive reviews and somehow managed to get a 7.3 on IMDb.
First of all the acting was horrendous. Simon Pegg was meant to be the "goofy" character who's jokes seemed fit for an 8 year old. I was disappointed by this as I liked his other movies and felt this movie was beneath him. Jeremy Renner made the best attempt to act in this movie but frankly it just seemed faked and shallow. Sadly, Tom Cruise probably issued the best acting in the film but it was nothing to get excited about. All the actors never made me feel a connection to them and honestly I couldn't care less about what happened to them.
The plot of the movie was a boring ripoff of the Call Of Duty video games (terrorist attempts to incite nuclear war between the US and Russia). The whole thing left me feeling like I've seen this same plot a thousand times before.
Basically don't pay money to see this movie. If you must see it wait till it comes out on netflix or something because financing this terrible movie is just embarrassing. Instead watch the other Mission Impossible because they are at least somewhat engaging.
