One of the best movie I've seen in 2011

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 2015)

The Mission Impossible series has always been captivating and entertaining. This last settlement is not an exception to this rule. This movie is efficient entertaining and keep us involved from the beginning to the end.
The first reason we should love this movie is the high chemistry and performance of the casting. It's the first movie without Luther Stickell who just made a small appearance at the end of the picture. We see new faces alongside Tom Cruise. Jeremy Renner is taking Ving Rhymes as Tom Cruise unexpected wingman, firstly introduced as a simple analyst but in real is a much more capable agent who we can see the potential being revealed throughout the movie. Next is the amazing Simon Pegg as the team hacker and gadget specialist which had a small role in MI3 and is now in first line. He is bringing a great touch of humor and seeing him as a full part cast is refreshing. And at last Paula Patton, a very capable agent who doubts her abilities after she lost one of her agents she was in love to during a previous mission.
And of course, there is Tom Cruise which is the only survivor of the previous installments. He is less bold than in the previous movies but a lot smarter. He still do some incredible stunts like when he climbs the Burj Kalifa in Dubai with a pair of magnetic gloves. This is the kind of stunt only him has the secret. It gives vertigo as we follow him climbing the floors. He is still sexy as hell and again the main asset of the movie. It was also touching to see him and his wife exchanging a smile while seeing each other. We can feel there is still love between them and I had a small tear seeing that scene.
But the villains are also awesome most specifically Lea Seydoux who under her sweet angel appearance is a cold blooded assassin without any remorse and feelings. She gives chills during each of her scenes and we can see Lea is a very talented actress. I can't wait to see her in Spectre which will be released at the end of the year. The main villain is not as impressive but still do the job. Maybe a switch would have been welcomed.
Once again the locations chosen for the movie are really amazing and really powerful. Ghost Protocol bring us to the Kremlin, a strong and cold place, home to the Russian Ministry of Defense, a perfect place for a spy movie. Then we leave Moscow for the Burj Kalifa and Dubai, a skyscrapers city in the middle of the desert as one of the highest building in the world being used for a breathtaking stunt ever seen. And at last Mumbai in India which is also so enjoyable to see with those Hindu dancers, those nice cars.... That also why I love those kind of movies. They allow us to see places we've never been to and its great.
At least lets talk about the story line. Despite the fact that it's not the first time a plot about nuclear weapons being stolen and used to attack the US is chosen as a main plot, it's still entertaining and captivating. Mostly because Tom Cruise and his team are performing without the back up of IMF to stop that threat. The gadgets, while present, are not really working well. The only thing bringing the team to successfully accomplish the mission is the team skills and unity. A team who can have some failures but is not allowed to fail that very mission in order to save the world from a nuclear war and clear IMF.
In conclusion, I give it a 9 out of Ten and I strongly recommend to watch this amazing movie at least once.
