Arguably the best of the 4

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2012)

I've always enjoyed the Mission Impossible films: the first one was very good, the second one was okay, the third was definitely an improvement over the 2nd, and this one... WOW!
Story (No spoilers): Ethan Hunt of IMF finds himself in another predicament when he and his team must act on their own to stop a nuclear war from occurring between the United States and Russia.
Acting: I've always liked Tom Cruise as an actor. He's very talented and always gives it 100%. Say what you want about him, but regardless of how messed up his life is he is one of the most hardworking actors we have on the scene today. Those action stunts he did in this film, including the one when he's on the side of the tower in Dubai had me on the edge of my seat. Simon Pegg does great in this one and I'm glad he has a bigger part than what he had in the 3rd film. He's funny, he's likable but he's also not annoying, and he has some of the most funny lines The other main cast members such as Jeremy Renner and Paula Patton (very easy on the eyes by the way) give great performances and so do the rest of the actors in the film.
Directing: Brad Bird's first foray into live action films actually pays off here. Before he was famous for animation which he does very well, and I never thought he had it in him for a live action film, especially a Mission Impossible film. Well done!
Final Verdict: This is a very entertaining fun film, and for me arguably the best of the 4 films by far, and I'm looking forward to the 5th one.
