Director: Brad Bird
When we last saw Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), he and his wife were going through a somewhat tough time but Ethan came through and rescued his wife (Michelle Monaghan) and all was well in the world of IMF.
Until of course the next bad man comes along to ruin Ethans day. They only know his as 'Cobalt', but he is determined to launch a nuclear missile stating that the world needs to be 'cleansed' and he will stop at nothing to get the codes to help him in his quest. Ethan and his team meanwhile, are sneaking around the Kremlin, trying to get the codes ahead of him so that they can stop the dastardly Cobalt in his evil plans. Unfortunately, all does not go well and the Kremlin has a slight mishap in the shape of a large explosion which is blamed on Ethan and his team, resulting in them being dissavowed.
But this doesn't stop our corageous Ethan Hunt who puts his 'dissavowed' team together to continue in their mission to stop Cobalt from nuclear domination.
In this mission we see some new faces in the form of William Brandt (Jeremy Renner) and Jane Carter (Paula Patton) who team up with Ethan and his techno wizz pal from the previous movie Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), who has just received his field pass. They work well together and there are some amazing action sequences in this installment. I really felt quite sick when Ethan is dangling from the windows on the 119th floor of the Burj Khalifa. Some spectacular shots and this would have looked stunning on the big screen.
All in all, a very enjoyable action movie. This should have been Mission Impossible 3 as the second one was just so out of place amongst the others.
Well done to Brad Bird in his first live action directing job.
