Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 01/19/12
Ethan Hunt (Cruise) manages a team consisting of lead Carter and Dunn to infiltrate the secret Moscow Kremlin archives and locate files identifying Cobalt. The US president activates "Ghost Protocol", a black operation contingency that disavows the entire IMF. Analyst William Brandt becomes part of hunt’s team. A few impossible scenes were jumping off a speeding car unscathed, the antagonist still running from a car crash, holding on to dear life from a broken window from a high building without breaking any bones after crashing into it, and more. Its conclusion seemed abrupt and somewhat tried to connect with the previous films. weakest link was the character Jane Carter. Nevertheless, this was fast paced with a nifty plot and solid performances. Stunts were incredibly crafted while the gadgets were sensational. Screenplay could have used a bit of tweaking though the humor was the best in the franchise. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is an enjoyable thrill ride with good character development which shows the value of team work, thinking positively and trust.
