"Mission Impossible 4"
Director: Brad Bird
Starring: Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, Simon Page
Rating: 8th
original "Mission Impossible" series shot 4, it is estimated that many people like me are not interested anymore. To be honest, apart from Tom Cruise and that famous theme music, the first three movies have long since forgotten about the plot. Therefore, there is no burden when watching this fourth part, it is purely as a fresh story to watch. Unexpectedly, I got a big surprise unexpectedly!
It is no exaggeration to say that "Mission Impossible 4" succeeded in bringing this almost tasteless series of movies back to life. Just like Nolan and Heath Ledger made "Batman" magical, Tom Cruise brought Agent Ethan back again with a nearly life-threatening performance.
If you want to describe "Mission Impossible 4" in one sentence, I think the most appropriate one should be "the whole film has no pee." From the first shot, he entered a state of high tension. A task is connected to a task, every minute is life-threatening, and every second is on the line. The deliberately created time pressure --- the launch of a nuclear bomb puts everyone on the brink of collapse. Coupled with the fast editing and large-scale displacement of the "Post-Bourne Shadows" era, the whole movie viewing is as if sitting on a high-speed train, the speed is suffocating.
Tom Cruise's performance in this film can be called life-threatening. In fact, brave agents have always been regulars in Hollywood genre movies. For example, James Bond in the 007 series or Jason Byrne in the "Bourne Shadow" series are all superheroes who are omnipotent. This time Tom Cruise seems to be suffocated to turn Agent Ethan into a better man than Bond and Byrne. Therefore, the whole film has basically become Ethan’s personal ability report performance: Prison Break, Get into the Kremlin, climb the Burj Khalifa with your bare hands, sandstorm rally, and finally end with driving a BMW car backwards. Physical strength, intelligence, and responsiveness have all been fully demonstrated, and their abilities are incredible to an incredible level.
In addition to excellent personal abilities, the equipment of the Ethan's four-man team is naturally not a problem. Although it was called a "no official record, no backup, no support" three no action, but everything they used was very high-tech, which shocked the audience time and time again.
The dazzling equipment, suffocating rhythm, humorous lines, coupled with Tom Cruise's personal charm, let us see a wonderful action film. Every link is well done, and the villain is also very successful (a high-IQ villain definitely adds a lot of points to the film), making the 4th "Mission Impossible" the best one in this series so far. .
However, after HIGH, after thinking about it carefully, there are still many loopholes in the plot. For example, the motivation for climbing the Burj Khalifa was stiffly explained, as if to climb for climbing; the female killer who was extremely powerful at the beginning died too hastily; the seduction of Indian rich people was also very inexplicable, and it was basically designed to show the maglev. A bridge segment has no substantial effect on the promotion of the plot... In addition, Brother Tom has no literary drama from beginning to end. To be precise, there is no emotional drama. He is a crazy agent, in order to stop the nuclear bomb, global tracking.
Fortunately, these problems did not affect the viewing experience. Because the story is too tense, the audience patronizes to see how Tom Cruise prevented the nuclear bomb from being launched in such an urgent situation. With such a fast pace, so many places to go---from Russia to Dubai to India, plus so many amazing super equipment, there is no time to think about whether a certain paragraph of this plot is logical or not!
It can be seen that as long as there is still an impossible task and a forever running brother Tom, the "Mission Impossible" series will continue!
