Mission: Impossible

(1996)
4 stars
PG
Superstar Tom Cruise and director Brian De Palma join forces for this thrilling extravaganza of jaw-dropping special effects and amazing stunts. Based on the cult 1960s TV series about a covert strike force designing situations villains believe to be real, it's best to forget the complicated plot — something about Cruise clearing his name and proving to the CIA he's not a treacherous mole — and simply enjoy the epic roller-coaster ride that De Palma brings to life with his customary brilliance. The burglary of a guarded vault and the Channel Tunnel helicopter pursuit alone put other high-action thrillers in intensive care. AJ
