Slick and Entertaining

Rating: 9/10 (23 June 2002)

I really enjoyed this film. Although this is no where near director Brian Depalma's best work ( Scarface, The Untouchables, Carrie ), I was highly entertained by Mission Impossible. With a complicated plot, which some may find too complex, the film has a great balance of action and intrigue. The movie was well cast, and Cruise is a great fit as Ethan Hunt. The opening credits were graphically excellent, and U2's rendition of the Mission Impossible theme song is superb. A cool and entertaining spy thriller. One of my favorite action films.
