Connor Macgregor Reviews...Mission Impossible
I finally managed to get round watching this. I thought firstly that this was too short. But never the less it was worth it and it really was a very well done action film.
Movie based on the television series finds Jim Phelps and his team charged with stopping a traitor from stealing and selling classified material. Everything was going well until the man they are following and all of the team are inexplicably killed except for Ethan Hunt. Ethan then calls the Director and goes to meet him when he discovers that the whole mission was to ferret a mole that they have been suspicious of for some time. The Director shows evidence that hints that Ethan's the one they have been looking for but Ethan knows that he is not, so he escapes. Ethan then arranges to meet the buyer and whom he warns against using the material he has and when they meet he offers to get what he paid for in exchange for telling whom the mole is. Ethan, along with Phelps' wife Claire recruits two disavowed agents to help him which won't be easy.
I havent seen the TV Series prior to the films so i won`t comment on the controversal plot of the film. Tom Cruise is really into his role as Ethan Hunt. He plays the part with such ability and strength. He can be a candidate for James Bond if he threw on a convincing English accent. I also liked Jon Voight as Jim Phelps. He was very interesting but was very limited near the end. Some of the supporting cast like Ving Rhames is good,but Je Adore Jean Reno. i always have in a way he can pretty much play anything and he is very convincing at the role he plays.
The plot is too short. The film`s running time is 110 Min although it felt very shorter than that. I don`t know but i felt like it was more than a TV Pilot but with a film Budget. Never the less it was very engaging and really felt like a Spy Film.
So overall Mission Impossible is a fun action film with a very interesting plot that keeps you on your feet, great cast overall and very well done special effects. Mission Impossible is Impossible to hate.
