“Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol” has a great combination of lots of action and a little humour. It features enough daring stunts and enough amusing moments to keep both diehard fans of the series and your average moviegoer entertained. It’s not as good as the first “Mission: Impossible” but it’s still pretty good.

“Ghost Protocol” starts with an action-packed opening as agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise “Top Gun”) is broken out of a Russian prison. After some even more explosive titles we find Hunt is then sent on a new mission to locate files at the Kremlin. After Hunt and his team are framed for bombing then the secret agent government branch IMF is shut down so Hunt and his team must find the person/people responsible for the bombing without any assistance whatsoever.

Tom Cruise was not as amusing as he was in the other “Mission: Impossible” movie I saw him in so I have to say he was much better this time around as Ethan Hunt. I thought Simon Pegg (“Star Trek”) was okay as Benji but I must say I didn’t find the character too exciting anyway. The villain is not too memorable unfortunately. Brandt (Jeremy Renner “Town”) was again an okay character with and okay performance.

“Ghost Protocol” features some amazing stunt work as Tom Cruise’s character climbs a building with some special spy glove and then runs down it on a rope. Although that’s probably the highlight I also loved it when Ethan Hunt took on the bad guy in a car factory in a well-choreographed scene. Bits including those examples are what make “Ghost Protocol” such a fun film to watch. If you haven’t seen any of the other “Mission: Impossible” movies I still recommend this one for its great action and decent enough humour so what are you waiting for accept my mission.
