Director Brad Bird made his action sequences as carefully as
he did with the "The Incredibles", and the result is one heart-pounding crisis after
another in this secret-agent thriller.
The action scenes did not disappoint the audience. They are beautifully shot and adeptly edited to make you sit at the edge of your seat. Most of the action sequences was filmed with 65mm camera. The 27 minutes of Imax footage gives considerable visual flair to the film.
This film has all the ingredients of a usual secret agent film.A glamorous party in Mumbai, India. A seduction scene in a rich man's bedroom, a fight to claim a briefcase in an automated parking garage, foot chases, car chases, a race to beat a ticking clock.
Highlight of the film is unswerving performance by Cruise, whose onscreen commitment to the role is unquestionable. Even at 49, he is able to do a shirtless scene without embarrassing himself.
Cruise may be the star here, but Bird's the story, a director who's only making his fourth movie and, remarkably, just his first live-action feature. This is the best of the 'Mission Impossible' movies.
The movie's weakness is the number of coincidences, pieces of luck and magically appearing resources needed to keep this yarn unwinding. But Bird's pacing, the clear-headed way he shoots a scene and the engaging cast keep you from minding much. There is an overdose of violence and sex in this film.
