A Fantastic Start to one of The Greatest Action Franchises of All TIme!

Rating: 8/10 (28 July 2018)

What I love about this movie is that the story is more complex compared to other action films, there is a lot going on at most times but Brian De Palma's brilliant direction handles all ends with such ease and intensity. INTENSITY, nearly every frame and moment bleeds with this, this film has a good chunk of people sitting around and talking for an action movie but it all feels great with such a courageous set up. The set pieces are all incredibly memorable and perfectly executed with smart cinematography, editing, acting, and music!
I will say that it does drag at just a few times and that the characters could definitely be developed a bit better, especially Ethan Hunt. Other than what plot has been engrossed upon him, we don't know much about him that gives him a realistic human character feel.
If you haven't seen this yet...what are you doing?! Watch it now! And then some more! Except for 2, Mission Impossible 2 is bad, some cool action but terrible movie otherwise.
