Review of Mission Impossible (1971) by Henry P — 05 Sep 2014
Mission Impossible. This title might actually be accurate for those of you who lack patience. It does move slowly throughout, but at least the plot makes sense: Agent Ethan Hunt of the IMF is framed for drug dealing, and so he must clear his name.
Ethan is the only developed character, so you won't really care for the rest of his IMF team. None of them are really relatable, although you will start rooting for Ethan eventually. The visuals are great, and the iconic "spy being lowered down" as well as other spy-stuff come into play.
Danny Elfman does a great job with the score, which helped breathe excitement into the action pieces. Despite the slow pace, there's still plenty of humor to be found. Mission Impossible is not a masterpiece, but there's still plenty to enjoy from it.
This review will now conclude, so go watch the movie if you didn't think I treaded on the film too much.
