your mission, should you choose to accept...
The premise of the show is a rather unbelieveable one. The movie begins by setting us up neatly into a little world, where Ethan Hunt is now a ex-agent trying to live a normal life. That scenario is a really hard sell but, is redeemed by the many action scenes. The pacing is fast and the story keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Not to go into too much detail... but let's just say there is an extremely breathtaking sequence involving a fulcrum, an amusing one that involves Hunt disguising himself as someone and a fantastic helicopter chase which is utterly awe-inspiring.
The movie barely allowed me to pause for breath...
Kudos to a Seymour Hoffman for his excellent maliciousness as the elusive and extremely dangerous Davian. The man was shining in his lizard-eyed role and brought this genuine terror to the villain. The character of Davian was one of unassumed violence. He may look placid but, the man is insane.
His scenes aside Tom Cruise's Hunt are superb, as they practically tremble in tension and quiet hatred on both character's parts.
All in all... it was a great movie.
I don't understand why the reviews took a nasty chunk out of it.
Action movies should be appreciated in the context for which they are made.
... heh! enjoy them booms and bangs
