Tom Cruise ignites the screen in this runaway smash hit that "holds you on the edge of your seat before blasting you out of it." (Howard Rosenberg, Los Angeles Times). Cruise stars as Ethan Hunt, a secret agent framed for the deaths of his espionage team. Fleeing from government assassins, breaking into the CIA's most impenetrable vault, clinging to the roof of a speeding bullet train, Hunt races like a burning fuse to stay one step ahead of his pursuers... and draw one step closer to discovering the shocking truth.

Graderings en resensies

A stab in the back to fans of the series by turning Mr Phelps into a traitor. The movie is still worth watching and many of the sequels are good (if not just action montages). Gone is the format that so many loved during the series run so in reality it isn't really Mission Impossible but a different entity using the name.

Love the sophistication of the plot. You'll likely have to watch it twice to fully grasp what is at hand. Makes you think, and has some very entertaining suspense sequences. My personal favorite of the entire series; a must watch for anyone into action, suspense, or mystery.

I enjoyed the 1st one, it had that spy theme to it, the rest were not as good.
