Mission: Impossible

This is a very effective spy film because it does not fully rely on action scenes in order for it to be exciting. There's a lot of hiding, double-crosses, and technical devices that carry this film. I must salute the last twenty minutes or so of the film for being engaging even though there was barely any dialogue. A lot of people believe that this movie is confusing, especially if one goes on a bathroom break. I can see why it may seem complex for a casual moviegoer because it does have tiny details that can impact the overall, big picture. There's a lot of "Hey, that didn't really happen... did it?" or "It could have gone the other way... but did it?" and I think that is part of the film's brilliance. This is my second favourite out of the first three and I am highly recommending it for intensity and sheer cleverness.
