This hub, if you choose to read it, will self destruct in five seconds…….Not really. I have just seen the fourth installment to the highly successful Mission: Impossible film series. Tom Cruise brings back the I.M.F. agent Ethan Hunt and he is at it again in the newest film, Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol.



Cast:


Tom Cruise, Paula Patton, Jeremy Renner and Simon Pegg star in this newest action film.


Plot:


When the I.M.F. is framed for the bombing that took place in the Kremlin, Hunt and his team are all that is left to uncover the one responsible for setting his agency up. Now, with little gear left and only four team members, Hunt and his crew have only little time to stop a terrorist who has control of nuclear launch codes and is planning a strike on American soil. After failure to stop Hendricks at the Kremlin, the terrorist with the launch codes, Hunt and his team are now blamed and wanted for the deadly explosion caused there. Hunt and his team must now go rogue to stop Hendricks from attacking the U.S.A.


Review:


With great action sequences and a great supporting cast, Cruise and the rest of the actors really pull off a great and unique action film. Some of the action scenes were loaded with suspense and different styles than you will normally see. I really enjoyed Jeremy Renner’s character in this film. I am a fan of his and I think that he fit well into his role and his character was great for the film. And just like the other three films, Tom Cruise was once again pulling off some incredible stunts that are stunning and visually pleasing. This film was overall a great and entertaining movie. I enjoyed it. I will say however, it is not my favorite out of the series. I am still a big fan of the third film. The fourth film does have some parts that relay back to the third film. There were some great and exciting scenes in this film that add to the cleverness of the Mission: Impossible series.


Conclusion:


Overall this is a pretty entertaining film. I did enjoy it and thought that this film does keep the action series Mission: Impossible going without getting old or repeating the same thing. I did think the plot was a bit weak and lacked some of the depth that the other films had. The action scenes did not disappoint and kept viewers on the edge of their seats. I was a bit nervous to see this film because director Brad Bird has never really shot a live action movie before. He is known more for his animation films. Bird did a great job of shooting this film. Overall, I would give this movie a three star rating out of four stars. It was a great flick to see and will most likely be buying the bluray when it comes out. Thank you for reading this hub, it will self destruct in five seconds. Cue iconic Mission: Impossible music.

Very insightful review, as I couldn't agree with you more about this movie. I personally think this film should be nominated for best cinematography in this year's oscars, as the way this film was shot literally makes you feel like you're right there with tom cruise and the rest of the gang during the action scenes.

As for Luke saying that Cruise is getting old, I don't know if that matters. Heck, if Chuck Norris can still do action films in his freaking 70's, then I see no reason why Tom Cruise can't in his late forties to early fifties.

Anyway, great review.
