If at all you are interested to watch non stop assault with no story sence, then this is the movie you are looking for.
Movie has one sole agenda .......promote the tom cruise (may be he is trying to impress Katie Holmes with lots of stunts which are really impossible for any normal human being & I mean it)
Let’s go to the story line
Mr. Ethan Hunt (Tom) is retired & is in love with young woman (Michelle Monaghan again looks like real life girl friend Katie Holmes).
During the party enjoying their union cruise gets a call from his boss that one of his female agents has been kidnapped some where in Berlin. She’s being held by Team Villain, led by Philip Seymour Hoffman (the guy who won the Oscar for capote recently).Ethan decides to rescue the female agent (Keri Russell, wow...she is a bomb) whom he had trained once. In the rescue operation he losses her but story takes you further to Vatican & than to shanghai where finally Ethan finds his love & accomplish the mission.
The Vatican episode is quite thrilling but shanghai episode is bit ridicules.
One of the big draw back of the movie is character plotting is very week; especially character played by Philip Seymour Hoffman is very brief & confusing. The man with the brilliant acting in Capote is absolutely wasted in the movie.
As I said earlier movie belongs to Tom Cruise & has given justice to his character. He is always good & natural in action sequences
Overall movie would have been much better with little more efforts on story building & character plotting.
