Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol (Film) Review

RRP: TBC
Director: Brad Bird
Starring: Tom Cruise, Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, Ving Rhames, Vladimir Mashkov
Rating: PG-13
Running Time: 133
Stylish, fast-paced, and loaded with gripping set pieces, the fourth Mission: Impossible is big-budget popcorn entertainment that really works.
This is not just another mission. The IMF is shut down when it's implicated in a global terrorist bombing plot. Ghost Protocol is initiated and Ethan Hunt and his rogue new team must go undercover to clear their organization's name. No help, no contact, off the grid. You have never seen a mission grittier and more intense than this. -- (C) Paramount
