Rating: 9/10 (5 January 2012)

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: GHOST PROTOCOL (2011) *** ½ Tom Cruise, Paula Patton, Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Michael Nyquist, Vladmir Mashkov, Anil Kapoor, Lea Seyoux, Josh Holloway, (CAMEOS: Tom Wilkinson, Ving Rhames, Bridget Moynahan) Totally awesome and breathtaking shot of adrenaline to the superspy franchise with Cruise in control (what else is new? ) as Ethan Hunt whose mission he's chosen to take is to clear his partners' names in a terrorist attack on the Kremlin which begins a globe-trotting-trek to stop Russian madman (Mashkov, the weakest link for the otherwise sharp actioner)hellbent on unleashing global thermal nuclear war (!) Kudos to animator genius director Brad Bird making a skillful translation to live-action format (and then some in this Herculean undertaking!) particularly the heart-stopping, hair-raising, gooseflesh inducing set piece with Cruise atop Dubai's tallest skyscraper in the world with little else but his cool-as-a-cucumber demeanor (a MUST SEE IN IMAX for the vertigo crowd too!) Mission: Accomplished! BONUS IMAX KUDOS to an 80 foot Paula Patton's lovely décolletage! :D
