A Brilliant Conflict

The bounty of slick dialogue (delivered well by the solid cast) and the brooding, twist-filled espionage plot make it a little hard to follow at points (see the double mole-reveal near the end) but give the film a certain class and timelessness that mask its dated effects and on-screen technology, and elevate it above other 90s action flicks (though the action of the CIA heist was certainly a highlight). Tasteful underlying humour ("Relax Luther, it's much worse than you think") rounds it out.7.5/10

'Mission: Impossible (1996)' favours meticulously set-up, supremely suspenseful espionage over balls-to-the-wall action but still delivers delirious amounts of both in its brilliant set-pieces. These are each as unique and thrilling as the last, present only as extensions to an intriguing and involving narrative that rarely, if ever, makes a mistake and constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat. While I can see why fans of the original and revival series may have been upset with the handling of the only returning character, I feel as though the filmmakers made a ballsy decision in their adaptation and ultimately created a piece faithful to the spirit and tone of the show. The movie is extremely entertaining, a more meticulous and perhaps subtle 'action film' than usual (indeed, our hero refreshingly never even fires a gun). You just have to strap in and enjoy the ride while never even thinking about 'turning your brain off' - perhaps it is those that did that found the movie 'confusing'. If you're willing, you'll experience an incredibly exciting picture that launched one of the best film franchises of all time. 8/10

Mission is impossible but Tom Cruise made it possible It made me a tom cruise fan.the movie thrills you Honestly I didn't expected it to be that good but It is awesome It gives you a lot of wow moments

Despite the third act's outdated CGI/green screen effects, a movie that is beautifully written and acted with action-packed scenes can still be seen in "Mission: Impossible." NOTE: I NEVER SAW THE TV SERIES.
