Movie Review-Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

The fourth Mission Impossible film is about a man who wants to start nuclear war in order to "reset" the world. In this case Ethan Hunt's (Tom Cruise) team of Simon Pegg and Paula Patton are joined by a outsider (Jeremy Renner) who has secrets of his own. Things go awry though when "Ghost Protocol" is initiated, leaving the team without any support from the agency. The story line takes the characters to several different locations trying to stop the villain, from Russia to India to San Francisco, and along the way you'll see a few familiar franchise faces.  This MI entry takes the series into the new generation, it has much more hand to hand combat and while the series has been known for over the top action, this takes that to an entirely new level. From free climbing the tallest building in the world to sandstorm car chases to one of the coolest explosions in film history, it definitely keeps your jaw dropped. I give Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol 8 Ninja Stars out of 10 and recommend seeing it in theaters, Imax if you can. The film is directed by Brad Bird.
