Should watch the rerun of the TV series instead...

Rating: 6/10 (8 October 2002)

The TV series was an original, smart and unique spy thriller with plenty of TEAMWORK, tightly winded action and INTELLIGENCE. This movie with the same title is nothing but a generic, sloppy, one-man ego trip. Sure, the set were of big budget and special effects were good. However, the plot twists were clichés, the characters were shallow, and the storylines were often confusing. Moreover, the uniqueness of "Mission Impossible" is totally lost. The title of the movie may as well be "Bond Wannabe" or "A Generic, Big Budget Spy Action Movie with Tom Cruise."
Overall, I can only give it a 3 out of 10. You are better off watching the rerun of the original TV series.
