The Mission:Impossible movies just keep getting better. When I started watching this franchise with the original M:I I have to admit I wasn't that impressed with anything : not the storyline, not the cast, nor the acting, not really anything about the original movie. As I progressed through the franchise, however, the movies kept getting better in every aspect…even the endings. This particular film was riveting from the opening scene and some of the stunts that Tom Cruise puts himself through (I found it astonishing that he insists on performing his own stunts) are absolutely jaw-dropping. Tiny bit of humor - whether intentional or accidental (and just left in the film intentionally) - was where Cruise, only moments after being rescusitated after a near-drowning, tries to leapfrog across the hood of a parked car and misses terribly. He then opens the driver's door, whereupon his accomplish "Benji" looks incredulously at him and says, "Are you sure you're okay to drive?" Again, I don't know if that was intentional or a "blooper" that they decided to leave in because it added to the moment. All in all, another great installment in the Mission:Impossible franchise!
