Even though there are minor references made to the previous films in this franchise, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol feels less like a sequel and more of a reboot. With Brad Bird at the helm, this film delivers an epic sized display and the intense action is non stop and serves to keep the adrenaline at a high. The return of Tom Cruise is welcome and he reminds us of what an old fashioned action hero is all about.
Thanks to his presence, Ghost Protocol feels like a return to the late 1980's and early 1990's and the films that turned Cruise into the Hollywood powerhouse that he is today. The addition of Simon Pegg to the cast gives the film just the right amount of quirky humor to lighten up even the most dramatic of moments, and never distracts from the heart pumping thrills that are relentless.
Fans of Harry Potter will no doubt vote the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 as their top action flick of 2011, true action fans will have Ghost Protocol firmly at the top their lists. This film starts with the introduction of a new IMF team; Jane is played by Paula Patton and Simon Pegg is Benji, the engineering whizz.
These two set off to free Ethan Hunt (Cruise) who is incarcerated, but our locked up hero is rather reluctant about leaving jail the easy way. This sets the tone for the entire film, Hunt is still the bad ass we have come to know and love, and his team always go about things the hard way.
Following a mission to the Kremlin that badly backfires, IMF is disbanded and Ghost Protocol initiated. The US is intent on distancing itself from the Kremlin incident so our intrepid heroes go rogue. Now that they no longer have the backing of the US government, Hunt's team have to make use of whatever they have to hand to try and restore faith to the US-Russia relations.
The set-up brings both humor and moments that will have you gasping to the film. The team are seriously lacking the tactical backing that they need to accomplish their tasks, but are still up for this seemingly impossible challenge. If there is only film you see in IMAX, it has to be Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, the scale of the mission and the amazing production design demands to be seen on the big screen.
The banter between Hunt and Benji is exceptional, especially the way that Benji makes outrageous suggestions is the most nonchalant of ways as he is fully aware that it's Hunt's life that is on the line, not his own. Ethan's reactions to the suggestions are always witty, made even funnier by the fact you know that he is mentally thinking that he does actually have to do it.
This is simply one of the best action films to hit the big screen for a long time, and even though they go down a tried and tested road, the old adage 'if it's not broken don't fix it' comes to mind. This is a thoroughly enjoyable way of spending a couple of hours, and let's hope the hinted at sequel comes to fruition.
