Mission: Impossible


The movie starts out very strong and carries that strength throughout the rest of it's 1 hour 40 minute length.  The first thirty minutes really only set up the movie but it was done very well.  It left a strong impact onto the viewer.  Then we get the main character, Ethan, on a hunt for the infiltrator, which involved an intense heist scene.  There were iconic moments that left a lasting impression.  Surprisingly, there was some humour injected into the movie too, not a big dose but enough to make it enjoyable.  The climax was good, although there was no big shoot out, what we did get was still satisfying.  I liked how they revealed the twist, which can be expected if you were paying enough attention to work it out yourself.  The stunts, while improbable, were still believable, such as the force of the wind that would be blowing against you when you're on top of a high speed train.  A solid action movie with a bit of mystery thrown in.
