Review of Mission: Impossible (1996) by Mahmus — 25 Sep 2020
The infiltration in Prague, The break-in at the CIA headquarters, and the climax on the train.
This movies has those three awesome sequences and some pretty boring stuff in between.

This movies has those three awesome sequences and some pretty boring stuff in between.
This franchise is one of my favorites in the action genre and part of the reason is because (excluding the second one) each new entry is better than the last. So naturally, coming back to the first one made for very dated, but still fun experience.
After the first three films, with Ghsot Protocol, they stopped experimenting, as they had finally found the perfect direction in which to take the rest of the franchise. Those three aforementioned sequences served as the basis for that direction.
Usually, when an action franchise abandons their slower, more character driven moments for more spectacle and action set pieces, it is seen as a negative.
With Mission: Impossible however, it was a wise desicion, because it became one of the most awesome action series, and I can't think of something more painful than watching Ethan Hunt surfing the 90's Internet for what feels like an eternity again.
