Mission: Impossible sees agent Ethan Hunt (Cruise) becoming the last surviving member of his team on an operation to flush out a mole. Now hunted by his employers, Hunt has to track down the mole by getting a top secret disk for the mole's employers.

This film is thrilling with chases, explosions and brilliant set pieces such as a helicopter and train going through a tunnel. Cruise is good as Hunt and gives the character a personality. This is by no way a classic, but it is enjoyable none the less.

****Good
