A Solid Confusing Thriller

Rating: 6/10 (4 March 2007)

Jim Phelps and his team charged with stopping a traitor from stealing and selling classified material. Everything was going well until the man they are following and all of the team are inexplicably killed except for Ethan Hunt. Ethan then calls the Director and goes to meet him when he discovers that the whole mission was to ferret a mole that they have been suspicious of for some time. Since Ethan is alive, the Director suspects him of being the mole. Now Ethan must discover and expose the real spy without the help of his organization.
I had to see this movie twice because the first time was very confusing, with a complicated plot so I had to watch a second time to understand the whole movie. This film is very smart and has some twists that may leave you surprise.
There are memorable sequences in the film, including Tom Cruise breaking into the CIA via the roof. It has great tension and suspense. This movie all leads to the great explosive ending with great special effects. Tom Cruise's and Emmanuelle Béart's acting are very good.
Although not as exciting and good as the third film, this is a smart thriller in which average movie goers might get confused during the movie but this is a solid thriller and it is entertaining.
