We’re back after a bit of a hiatus (sorry, life got in the way for all of us) and we’re starting our new series, the Mission: Impossible films, which are still going strong with Tom Cruise still running intensely & doing insane stunts. To start, we go back to the series’ roots, which were not in action, but in an elaborate spy thriller. Oh sure, there’s plenty of crazy action sequences, but this one is a Brian De Palma film through and through with a focus on tension. We meet master spy Ethan Hunt as he seeks the identity of a CIA traitor who cause his whole team to be killed. This one is still fun and almost more interesting to watch now in light of what the series turned into.
