Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (IV)



Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol



So here we are again, Mission Impossible 4, yes! 4 is finally out. After the last 2 instalments I was a little hesitant to see this one, however my beloved young lady wanted to see it, so I decided to take her and see what it was like, well I can say that I was surprised to say the least. Mission Impossible 2 wasn’t that amazing and number 3 wasn’t all that great either, so my expectations were naturally low.

Tom Cruise returns as the ever elusive and charismatic “Ethan Hunt”, Simon Pegg plays the loveable idiot (as usual) ”Benji”, Jeremy Renner plays the secretive and deadly “Agent Brant” and finally the beautiful Paula Patton plays the sexy part of “Agent Carter”.

This time around, the group of agents are trying to stop an international terrorist before he starts world wide nuclear war. This is the crust of the story and I don’t really want to go into to much detail about the storyline because there are so many on the edge of your seat moments and brilliant pieces of acting that you wont want me to spoil them for you.

It literally is on the edge of your seat action. It is absolutely brilliant, and I am not going too far by saying that it is one of the best action films of the year, if not, the last 5 years. It completely and utterly eclipses the last 2 instalments of the series, if not, the first as well.

Tom, Simon, Jeremy and Paula’s chemistry is excellent, and as an audience member you want them to get to their target and complete the mission. They are an excellent cast and have even better balance between them, one being from a comedy background, one of them being a serious character, one of them being sassy and sexy and last but no means least, Tom Cruise, well he is just himself.

The soundtrack is excellent and really helps to give off the non stop vibe. Orchestrated by Michael Giacchino, whose previous works include the likes of “Lost” (one of my favourite soundtracks of all time) and previous instalments of the series, he certainly does a grand job of setting the pace.

BMW i8 is the feature car!

Unlike other films there are several things that this film gets to show off like, some new weaponry and a brand new BMW concept car, which could possibly be the most beautiful car in the history of all cars (Yep! I just said that). It also shows some environmental effects by being in places like Dubai. Brad Bird (the director) has done a wonderful job with putting in different elements. I.e. not just having to worry about the ability of your enemy but also the huge sand storm coming towards the tallest structure in the world (Currently).

So it is an un-missable film. Absolutely brilliant and definitely the best Mission Impossible (So Far!).

Would I pay £8.55 to go see it again ? Hell Yeah! (Thank You Ebony!)
