The Beginning of a Great Film Series,

Rating: 7/10 (15 February 2013)

Mission: Impossible is a great movie with a well developed plot and a great cast. There is plenty of action that will keep you interested from start to finish, and it is at times very intense as well.Tom Cruise delivers a fantastic performance as Ethan Hunt, and it's no surprise he's still playing him today. It's a great franchise and Cruise suits the character.
The movie definitely has its flaws, I think the story can be a bit convoluted at times, the plot definitely had moments were it felt like it was all over the place. It felt as if the writers had so much to handle with the source material that they were trying, maybe a little too hard, to make a movie that is bigger than every episode of the television series.
As well as that, all of the characters bar Ethan are underdeveloped. We really learn nothing about anyone else, which makes it difficult for us to care for or support them when they are immensely two dimensional.
It is simple, mindless fun that leads to better movies. Mission Impossible is a great movie that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good action or thriller.
Ethan Hunt is framed for disloyalty of his organisation, he now must try and prove his innocence and that he is not a traitor to the US.
Best Performance: Tom Cruise
