The agent is ferocious

The biggest attraction and highlight of "Mission Impossible 4" is the extremely fierce action scene. Brad Bird, who is an animation director, is better at mastering the rhythm, which allows "Mission Impossible 4" to avoid the slow motion used by many directors. The thrilling scenes in the film one after another, crises one after another, but the director did not deliberately show off the action, the fast pace brought by the real-time images is real and credible, and it is extremely tense.
Impressive action scenes abound in the film.
At the beginning of the film, Agent Hanaway’s flexing hands and smooth movements are reminiscent of Bird’s previously directed animated film "The Incredibles". Agent Hanaway, armed with high technology to his eyeballs, finally missed. This segment perfectly positioned the difficulty of the film's mission and warmed up the film. Although Ethan Hunt's escape bridge is old-fashioned, the three-and-five-to-two fights allow everyone to see the legendary "brother" again. A subsequent bombing in the Kremlin and an attack on a car crashing into the river bridge made the film gradually better.
The action scene at Alifah Tower in Dubai is a rare highlight in the series, and its excitement is no less than the scene in which Ethan Hunt sneaked into the IMF headquarters to steal the list of agents in "Mission: Impossible." This action scene filmed with IMAX equipment has no gorgeous blasting, no bullets flying, no electric flint, but the urgent time, the sandstorm, the 800-meter-long Alifa Tower and the fierce Ethan make this passage. The play became the icon and climax of the film. The section where Ethan accidentally slipped from the Tower of Alifa, the section where he leaped down, and the scene of human parabola all made the film extremely tense. The filming of this scene is extremely deep, and the high-detailed images are immersive. The 800-meter depth of field is breathtaking, and the real shooting with real swords and guns makes this scene more real. This segment has re-established the benchmark for blockbuster action movies, leaving many similar movies far behind.
The subsequent action scenes of the film continue the vigor of the previous "Mission Impossible 3", with various luxury cars crashing and close hand-to-hand combat, highlighting the uniqueness of the animation director. In addition, the director cleverly avoided the clichés that made Esenvia fall, and this time delegated the task to Agent Brandt.

  • Jane Carter: [Telling Ethan about agent Hanaway, who was killed by a female assassin in the course of Carter's field op] It was my op. I put him in the field. And she left him just alive enough for me to see him die.
