Description
Tom Cruise stars as Ethan Hunt, leader of a crack squad of intelligence operatives, in this labyrinthine action-thriller based on the hit 1960s-'70s television series. When a dangerous mission in Prague goes inexplicably wrong, Hunt finds himself out in the cold. A mole has infiltrated the CIA, and suspicions are that it's Hunt. His only chance: Find out who the real mole is and turn the tables. The plan takes him on an incredibly suspenseful infiltration of CIA security, leading to a spectacular chunnel climax that would make Hitchcock proud. Thanks to crisp, inventive direction from Brian De Palma and Danny Elfman's dynamite electronica score (including a catchy update of the original Lalo Schifrin theme), this mission is great fun. The talented roster of stars backing Cruise includes Ving Rhames, Vanessa Redgrave, John Voight, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Jean Reno. A witty script by Robert Towne (CHINATOWN, SHAMPOO) and David Koepp keeps the ball rolling in unexpected directions, with the paranoia always set to high. A box-office record-setter during its original release, MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE led to a well-deserved sequel, also with Cruise and Rhames.

MI:Fantastico
Created: 07/06/06
) What a film,
Watch the original series and Tom cruise has just done an amazing job. This is one of my all-time favourite films and the latest edition MI:III is just mind blowing. if you havent seen this film then watch it and if you like it watch Mission impossible 3 because its fantastic. As for MI:II well > John Woo disappointing directing and made it more like a james bond movie which i personally didnt really enjoy.
Anyway you make your mind up but defiantly watch it and buy it on DVD

Mission Impossible stars Tom cruise as Ethan Hunt, from the original TV series.
This first film was criticised for being too complicated a story. But my children can follow it, and they love this film.
Quite a few little tricks and toys, and some good special effects.

4.5 star
Created: 06/06/06
An excellent film with suspense and great action sequences and with more off kilter camera angles than you can shake a stick at from Brian De Palma which helps the film along nicely and keeps you interested from start to finish.
I loved the telly series and this is a great transfer to film with great characters and an excellent story. I give it a 4 star as it gives the game away too early in respect of length of time to the end that aside it would have got 5 stars, the sequel was a bit pretentious and far fetched a let down although in the dvd extras there's a feature that has Ben Stiller playing Tom Cruze who is Tom Cruise's stunt double I only mention this as it's funny as hell.
Plus with the third installment on the way which is looking as good as the first this is a great film worth buying, I did.

mission impossible dvd
Created: 09/06/06
) id seen this film before on rental and tv and thought it was great being a fan of the 70s series thought both the writers and actors done it real justic and with the third one having just come out at the pictures i bought this and the second one just to get back up to speed with them if you like action movies with a half plasuable story line that makes you think a bit rather than shoot everyone and blow everything up(even though that happnens in this)it is a highly recomended film.
mission impossible dvd
Created: 07/05/07
I love all the mission impossible films and already had mission impossible 2 and 3 also bought on ebay, so finding the first movie at such a reasonable price allowed me to complete my set at a fraction of the price from shops and just as good quality condition.
