"Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol"

After the disaster that was "Knight and Day", Tom Cruise returns to the action genre in great style by reprising his role as 'Ethan Hunt'.

In this latest sequel, Ethan and his team have to go on the run when they are implicated in a major bomb blast at The Kremlin.  When the IMF secretary is killed, and a terrorist gains access to Russian Nuclear launch codes, all hell breaks loose. As one would expect the action comes thick and fast, as we jet all over the World. There are some excellent action sequences, as has become the trademark of this particular film franchise.
For his age Mr. Cruise does a great job in the action packed lead role, the supporting cast likewise are equally entertaining, especially Simon Pegg who provides comic relief.

There is usually one sequence that really stands out with Mision Impossible, and this film has set a standard that I think any subsequent films will find hard to beat.Seeing Tom Cruise scaling the exterior of The Burj Khalifa tower is truly remarkable, and it takes an actor of some nerve to undertake such a task, there must have been some very nervous Insurance Company Executives when those sequences were shot. And a big well done to Director Brad Bird for shooting it so brilliantly.

Great fun, and a worthy addition to the series........7 out of 10
