'Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol' PG 13
The team that brought the manic and not so hot third Mission Impossible, Bad Robot, team up with a competent action director, Brad Bird, to reboot the idea, and get back to the series roots from which this came, making it not just Tom Cruise Plays Spy, but a team flick, including Tom as the lead. That's what it should have been. When the Kremlin gets blasted apart during a botched mission to steal nuclear secrets, the recently escaped fugitive Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his new team, must clear their names, in a way like the A Team might do. Putting the team out of their element with enemies at every turn, ad really ticked off assassins and Russian secret agents after them, it's a fast paced thriller throughout. The glass building climbing scene is freaking crazy! Knew it was fake but it was filmed so nuts! Well there is one oddity, the creators don't know their geography. At one point in the film they are at this big building in India, the world's tallest one in Dubai, and the next they get on a plane to India, to Mumbai, which was Bombay, and they're surprised at Hunt telling them 'We're going to India'. They were just there! Saudi Arabia is also right next door. But okay.
