Mission: Impossible is Entertaining and Action-Packed!!
Mission: Impossible is a 1996 action spy-thriller directed by Brian De Palma, starring Tom Cruise, Jon Voight, Kristen Scott Thomas, Ving Rhames, and Jean Reno.Beginning in the first half-hour, where half the cast is killed (Don't worry, that wasn't a spoiler), Mission: Impossible makes it clear it will NOT be your typical spy-thriller!The improbable and thrilling action sequences and clever gadgets (the infamous latex masks!) are brought to life by Brian de Palma and Tom Cruise in probably the most realistic (Whaa? Mission Impossible realistic?) Ethan Hunt outing yet.Cruise plays the role he plays best: the (young) cocky action-hero, and plays it well, and the supporting cast steals the scenes (Look out for Vanessa Redgrave, Jean Reno, and Ving Rhames)!Mission: Impossible has everything you want from an action film: action (obviously), adventure, explosions, mystery, one-liners, a great cast (an added bonus, actually), humor, and big-budget set pieces!Strong Recommendation!
