Is «Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One» a perfect movie? What can I say? I think it is!

Even with a runtime of over two and a half hours and a dreaded «Part One» in the title the movie delivers throughout. The interesting question would be: Why do we still have to rely on «poor» old Tom Cruise do deliver some solid, no-BS entertainment? I’m not feeling like trying to answer that question here but again, after the sequel to Top Gun last year he (almost) singlehandedly brings back everything a movie fan trained in the eighties and nineties loves about films.

Without the need for any kind of nostalgic fan service the movie stands out with perfect pacing, solid storytelling, a bombastic classical score and – most importantly – breathtaking action even with some car chasing scenes on top – something I’ve learned to hate over the years (I’m looking at you, Indy 5).

Good job! Great job! And – surprisingly – containing the funniest scene I’ve watched in years in an action film, nay, in a movie, full stop.

Go see it – no questions asked – even you, Corinne, no matter what you think about Tom Cruise. You thank me later.
