Just watched Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, and holy crap!
I’m a big fan of Brad Bird’s. The guy seems to really be in his element with this whole “making awesome movies” thing (Iron Giant, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, and others).
This is apparently his first live-action outing, and the guy really delivers. There’s not much playing it safe here. In true MI fashion, the tasks are nigh-impossible, the story larger than life, and for action they really put the pedal to the metal. Our story opens with these guys on the trail of a smart and dangerous villain who manages to blow up the Kremlin and pin it on the IMF group. The U.S. government then initiates ghost protocol which essentially disavows the whole lot. They are officially completely and entirely on their own. Their choice is to try to disappear, or to try and clear their names. The story is really good and the action is quite intense. I give full props to Mr. Cruise for doing his own running around on the side of a building work. A solid supporting cast made this a whole lot of fun, and I’d highly recommend a viewing.
