As many from my generation (late 70 born), I have grown up watching TOP GUN, RAIN MAKER and MISSION IMPOSSIBLE’s sought after agent Ethan Hunt aka Tom Cruise and needless to say he was an all time favorite.
As any of the MI series this is a well shot, chic, on the edge action adventure movie which keeps you engaged as you unmindfully finish packs of popcorn. The ageing Cruise looked attractive with his long locks.
The adventure here has a twist as the IMF get disbanded after been implicated in the bombing of Kremlin. The task is more difficult for Ethan and his team as they have to save the world form a potential nuclear war without any assistance from the US government.
The movie has a pace as it’s constantly moves form Budapest to Moscow to Dubai and finally to Mumbai. And the pace of the movie is complemented with well crafted action adventure. Worth mentioning here is the scene where Cruise seen spidering up and then dangling outside the world's tallest building — the Burj Khalifa in Dubai. The climax scene in an automobile workshop has few moments but you have seen too many of those in Hollywood movies before.
Ethan Hunt has a hunger to excel and Cruise depicts the character of a super skilled agent who also has an emotional self flawlessly. The other worth mentioning factor was the comic timing of the movie. Simon Pegg as a comic relief lab geek was thoroughly entertaining.
Oh I have missed out mentioning our own Anil Kapoor. Well it’s a brief role and somehow the kind of intense acting and role that Kapoor has been associated with in Indian cinema somehow makes this role as a millionaire Indian brainless tycoon very demeaning. It’s not about he did well or not it’s just these types are not worthy enough for his talent.
