Product: Mission: Impossible (1996)
Rating: 5.0
Action and Intrigue on the edge of your seat!
Tom Cruise and Director Brian De Palma breathe life into and put a foot in the rear of the original television series. I tried watching the popular television series, starring Peter Graves and Martin Landau (among others) and I just couldnt keep with it. I admit it had intrigue and interesting plot but hardly any excitement to keep you glued. I found myself ready to take a nap after 20 minutes of an episode because it was so slow moving and had several gaps without dialogue. The action scenes in this stylish and explosive remake are sometimes over the top, but who cares, thats what makes it fun and exciting in the first place. I also recommend the sequel, MI:2, directed by action genius, John Woo (Hard Boiled, Broken Arrow, Face Off) in theatres now! The stunts and fight scenes are choreographed in operatic Woo style and the film itself is at least as good as the orginal. "Your mission, should you choose to except it (and you should): See These!
