Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1

I went to see the latest Mission: Impossible film recently. As with most of the entries in the series, it's a fun, fast-paced, thoroughly satisfying piece of escapism. I'm old enough to have seen all the films when they were released, and there's no way I'd have predicted after the first couple that it would run this long or this successfully. Kudos to all involved for shaping what should have been no more than a gimmicky, short-lived revival of an old TV series into something far more ambitious...
