This Is How You Bring A TV Show To The Big Screen

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2017)

Continuing my plan to watch every Tom Cruise movie in order, I come to Mission Impossible (1996)
Plot In A Paragraph: Ethan Hunt (Cruise) an American agent, under false suspicion of disloyalty, must discover and expose the real spy without the help of his organization.
This is how you do it. There has been countless attempts at bringing old TV shows to the big screen with little success. Mission Impossible delivers on every level. I think it's a great movie, which I'm surprised I don't watch more often.
It's not meant to be taken 100% serious, it's a fun summer popcorn flick. It has some decent twists, some good stunts and all the performances are decent too. Cruise looks cool and does cool stunts!! It's always good to see Jon Voight, I love Jean Reno, Emmanuelle Bèart is gorgeous and we get a neat cameo from Cruises old Outsiders costar Emilio Estevez.
People complain about it not being very plausible and the movie falls apart if you think too much about it, I say ignore such people, and just enjoy the movies.
Mission Impossible grossed $180 million at the domestic box office (a personal best for Cruise) to end the year the 3rd highest grossing movie of 1996.
