Regardless of what you think of Tom Cruise (the Oprah couch jumping, his love for scientology, glib battles versus Matt Lauer, etc.), the dude can sell an action flick. The newest chapter of the Impossible Mission Force (you can tell it's an even number film because Cruise has long hair) sees Cruise's Ethan Hunt and his team being disavowed (once more) after being framed for blowing up the the Kremlin. Predictably, he kicks some ass, scales some buildings, explodes some stuff, shoots some guns. The usual.
Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg are back, along with the additions of Josh Holloway (tv's LOST), Jeremy Renner, and Paula Patton (zing!). They must use their considerable talents against the villainy of Anil Kapoor (Slumdog Millionaire) and Michael Nyqvist (Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy).
Expect special effects, ninja moves and perhaps some double crosses. Directing is Brad Bird (The Incredibles), in his live-action debut.
Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol arrives in theatres December 16, 2011.
