Definitely a milestone in the action/suspense genre (but is not perfect)

Rating: 7/10 (5 February 2018)

Sometime ago I realize that I never saw the first Mission Impossible Trilogy, two years ago I saw Rogue Nation and loved, so I'm looking forward to see the rest of the movies.
Well, this movie is great, is definitely different than the sequels that we're getting now, but is without doubt one movie that influence a dozen of other action movies and franchises. The suspense through the entire movie is great, the surprises on the script really caught me off guard. The death of all Ethan's crew, the fact that Jim is the asshole at the end, and not the CIA boss. By the way, I love the way that DePalma shows us that Ethan knows the true, the scene is just gorgeous.
I think that overall the actors are very good here, only Emmanuelle Béart didn't sound good sometimes. The most of the action scenes are truly breathless, in fact, that aren't a lot of "ordinary action scenes" (like two guys fighting), the director choose to do something that relies on the suspense itself, to leave you breathless. The heist scene is great, the soundless fact was a really clever idea.
Overall, I think that my only big issues with the movie are the dated aspects. Like, why they have to use Chroma Key on the scene that are inside a car? Just, why?
The internet aspect isn't a real issue, but is funny to see the perception they have of it.
And the train scene is probably my big issue, does not hold up well, I get the time that it was made and all that kind of stuff, but just doesn't hold up, and, with that, I think that the weight that it was supposed to have didn't work for me. It's still a good action scene, all the "air" aspect is great, but, the CGI degrees its grade.
Oh, I almost forget it: The score! My god the score! This is probably the most iconic thing of the franchise, and it is amazing, one of the best action movies score.
Overall, Mission Impossible is a great movie, that definitely inspires (till today) a lot of action directions, such as Bourne Identity and Matrix. Worth your time.
7,5/10
