An abomination
Shortly before succumbing to cancer, Greg Morris, a star of the original "Mission: Impossible" television series, went to a theater and saw Brian DePalma's movie version of this series. Morris said he walked out after forty minutes and declared this movie an "abomination." My feelings exactly.Superspy Tom Cruise and his team are betrayed during a mission. Cruise survives the betrayal and organizes another team to uncover the setup.DePalma's "Mission: Impossible" is a great disappointment. The only reason I don't give this film a big fat zero is that it has two redeeming factors:1. The film features one of the most awesome and sweat- inducing theft sequences in film history.2. One of Hollywood's most sensitive males, Jon Voight, proves that he can effectively play a slimy and devious character.Otherwise, this film is a failure. The movie is basically a confusing bore. The music is also terrible.The movie "Mission: Impossible" can be recommended for the above two reasons but nothing else.
