Mission: Accomplished!

Rating: 9/10 (6 May 2006)

Ah, the first Hollywood Blockbuster movie of the 'summer', and boy does it deliver! J.J. Abrams directs and Tom Cruise stars in this thrilling, fast paced action thriller. J.J. Abrams makes his big screen directorial debut in the highest costing movie for a first time big screen director (over $150 Million). Abrams, who is famous for his achievements in the television shows Alias and Lost, brings a little of Alias along with him in M:I III, including an opening sequence which highly resembles the very first episode of Alias. Tom Cruise delivers as usual, reprising his role as Ethan Hunt from the first two 'M:I' films. As far as the action goes, you won't be disappointed. There are multiple stunts and action sequences which are extremely thrilling and leave the viewer breathless. Although there's a ridiculous amount of action, Abrams as usual brings emotion into the picture as well. The action and drama blend well into a very impressive movie. Mission: Accomplished.
