Review of Mission Impossible (1971) by Brad G — 01 May 2012
Under the direction of Brian DePalma, the first Mission Impossible film feels a little too clinical for my summer blockbuster desires and the unwinding of the conspiracy definitely looses excitement on repeat viewings, but the antsy team building exercises of painfully cocky Tom Cruise & Co is oddly endearing (especially his relationship with Ving Rhames' Luther) even when things get back stabby.
And I still say the helicopter/train tunnel climax is exciting, even when the CG reveals itself to be utterly wonky. Not VF.
