Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

That which I did like. Hacking into the CIA Rope scene was awesome, it was very quite, and suspenseful, definitely his best stunt scene out of all mission impossible movies so far.What I didn't like was that it had obvious clues that Krieger was the one who killed Golitsyn, and Sarah. 1st clue: CIA infiltration scene, the knife is shown when Hunt stops him from killing the security guard. 2nd clue: When Hunt goes back up to the ventilation shaft, Krieger drops the Knife on the desk. The ending scene was very weak also.Movie should of had more to it, with a bit more action.Jon Voight acting was great, but I would of preferred someone else. Brian De Palma great director, but I don't think this genre was good for him to do at the time. I'm pretty sure had he got a chance to make one during this time, it would be much better.

The bounty of slick dialogue (delivered well by the solid cast) and the brooding, twist-filled espionage plot make it a little hard to follow at points (see the double mole-reveal near the end) but give the film a certain class and timelessness that mask its dated effects and on-screen technology, and elevate it above other 90s action flicks (though the action of the CIA heist was certainly a highlight). Tasteful underlying humour ("Relax Luther, it's much worse than you think") rounds it out.7.5/10

"Mission: Impossible" has some great moments, lots of fantastic ideas, but quite a bit of weak execution. It has also not aged well at all.-Analysis of Notable Work- *Writing/Directing: The story is relatively engaging throughout most of the film, but the twists seem more forced than they need to be. Brian De Palma knows how to direct action, but does not do as well with drama and suspenseful twists. *Cinematography/Editing: These are two of the weaker aspects of the film. Stephen H. Burum is a capable cinematographer, but he does not prove that with this film. Much of the film looks like home video. The editing is also quite weak with many cheesy moments. *Dialogue/Acting: The entire flow of the film feels a bit off. The dialogue is classless and thinks it is much more clever than it is. The delivery does not help, either. Tom Cruise holds his own, but much of the supporting cast is less than impressive. Even Jon Voight delivers a sub-par performance. *Music/Sound Design: While iconic, the soundtrack is not powerful or helpful in the film. The main theme is recognizable, but that is about all that can be said about it. The sound design is yet another less than average part of the film. It does not feel as grounded as it should. Everything seems to be over the top. *Production Design/Special Effects: The set design, costumes, and props are all a bit boring. Some of the gadgets are interesting, but they do not make up for the poor effort of the rest of the film. The special effects are not yet mastered in this film. It all feels rather cheap.*Conclusion: "Mission: Impossible" feels like a testing of the waters for modern spy films. They have not yet figured out how to pull it off, but they are still working on getting acclimated to the water temperature.
