Enjoyable and Entertaining

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2016)

There are good movies I watch once and will never go back ("One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest" of "The Sixth Sense" and then there are those I will always watch again and again. This movie falls into the later group. I never thought Mr. Cruise would do much with this genre, but I have to do a major retraction...right now, he is my preferred action star. Ethan Hunt starts this series out right. From the first Mission Impossible movie onward, they have just improved. This is an excellent beginning. I understand people might have been looking for 'Paris', or a Barbara Bain Martin Landau type mix...I know I was. And I will admit that I kind of wanted to see a reboot of the old players, but gone are Barney, Willie, Mr. Phelps and the gang. It didn't take long to adjust to the new version. The action, direction and pace are outstanding. Tom Cruise and cast makes this a gem worthy of multiple views. I highly recommend this movie along with future installments.
