Mission Impossible : Ghost Protocol and fourth in the series.......
The IMF is shut down after being implicated in the bombing of the Kremlin and Ethan Hunt and his new team go rogue to clear his organisations name and save the world from nuclear war.
For the most part I like Tom Cruise and his movies, this is no exception as it ticks all the boxes for action and humour, there's a new team (Simon Pegg is now a field agent) and Jeremy Renner (not bad) and Paula Patton (ok) are new but Simon provides the humour with the banter between him and Cruise. They are after a madman who wants to start a war between Russia and America and it does go down to the wire.
The opening sequence is very clever and well done (always liked Dean Martins "Ain't that a kick in the head") and that's what the movie is, it's a stunning set of action sequences switching from different parts of the globe where they end up with impossible situations (i know that's what they do but....) that are more demanding than the last with assassin's, Russian's, dodgy equipment and bad guys fecking it up even more and there's the little hiccup....
......the movie is a little over the top with some of the action set pieces and I found it just a bit too long but worth anybody's Saturday night with a big bag of popcorn!
