A Good But Complicated Action Thriller

Rating: Null/10 (25 July 2000)

"Mission: Impossible" is a fine action film that is just a little bit too smart for its own good. The film deals with the mission: impossible team trying to capture a double-agent in Prague, but being unsuccessful. After the entire team, except Tom Cruise, is eliminated, Cruise becomes the prime suspect in the shady dealings. Nothing is quite as it seems and the action is mixed with complicated, and somewhat confusing material. To put it bluntly, this is a thinking person's action film that is good but a bit difficult to grasp on the first viewing. 4 out of 5 stars.
