MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE

Self-destructs

The TV show followed a strict formula: every week, the Impossible Mission Force pulled off some outrageously contrived sting operation against the evil dictator of a small third world country. No soap, just pure plot, with a solid ensemble cast acting incredibly smooth all the time. But this movie’s a Tom Cruise production, so it’s TOM TOM TOM as the STAR. 

That said, this is a pretty nifty spy thriller courtesy of the always-interesting Brian DePalma, with more double-crosses than a tic-tac-toe championship, and a completely far-fetched (but fun) action climax.

Gadgets; kung fu; exploding helicopters; car chase; p-star DePalma.
