93% Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol

What really sets MI - Ghost Protocol apart from your garden variety potboiler are the outstanding action sequences. Actual location shooting at three locales: Moscow, Dubai and Mumbai, highlight set pieces with astonishing stunts. Each individual display would have provided sufficient excitement independently, but put together and there's scarcely time to breathe. When the team initially attempts to infiltrate the Kremlin, the operation is giddy with disguises, gadgets and humor. There's a hallway screen that's an ingenious technology that Benji and Ethan use to remain undetected in the fortified complex. Later, accessing a security room at the Burj Dubai from the outside of the skyscraper is a heart pounding spectacle. Ethan wears a pair of electronic friction gloves that enable him to climb the glass exterior of the Burj. You'll gasp at the difficulty of the mission.That MI - Ghost Protocol is far and away the best one yet, has got to be one of the biggest surprises of 2011. Some credit should go to Director Brad Bird for breathing new life into this series. Best known for writing and directing modern animated classics The Incredibles and Ratatouille, his facility for storytelling is clearly an asset here. There has been care to create personalities that seem human so when they're hanging by an arm off the side of the tallest building in the world, we genuinely feel scared. When Jeremy Renner's character is required to leap down a vertical cooling tunnel wearing a magnetic suit that will allow him to float, you can see the uncertainly on his face before he jumps. Those subtle touches are endearing because they make these individuals easier to identify with. These aren't indestructible automatons, these are real human beings and we care about them.
