Review of Mission: Impossible (1996) by Barneyonmt — 27 May 2016
WHAT I LIKED: The Mission: Impossible formula begins, and it's one that largely works. Get a super, over-complicated plot, then get Ethan and his team to crack the mission before the ticking clock stops. It's a pretty simple idea each time around, but it is a fun formula to watch thanks to some awesome action, crazy stunts, tense moments, and the occasional emotional beat.
WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE: This formula has it's cons too. The plot is extremely over-complicated, to the point where it feels like a badly collected group of really great scenes.
VERDICT: 'Mission: Impossible' begins - and it's pretty enjoyable, but nothing more than that.
