​​Mission:Impossible - Dead Reckoning [DVD]

Great movie, Cruise rarely if ever disappoints in every Mission Impossible film he makes. The fantastic action sequences always leaves you on edge of your seat, and the stunts in each of the Mission Impossible films are next to mind blowing. They almost always successively top the ones performed in the previous MI outing. If you're an action movie aficionado, or especially a Mission Impossible fan, this one is highly recommended.

The movie was excellent with audio and video working very well, high drama to the plot, and full of action.

Just how many more movies can you milk out of the old television show? Seems like still two more. This one and the sequel.We keep running out of villians. The Cold War is over. We can deal with just so many terrorist plots to kill people - a lot of people. We can deal with so many death-crazed people in power. But this one creates a new enemy. We will probably be seeing Hollywood use this villian in other areas and films.The original television series was based on a book, The Art of the Con. There was always this flaw in the villian that a good con artist could explout. The movies follow this format. But now you have a villan that has no flaws. This villian has no emotions you can con or exploit. It is going to be interesting to see their solution in the next film.It was an action film, probably one of the most action films around. But they did not exhaust the audience with the action. (It did get a bit tedious and I found myself wanting them not to stretch out the danger in some scenes to where the escape just seemed to last too long or take forever to get to.) When the action feels more like filler than moving the plot forward is dangerous in these kinds of films. But the plot was good and they kept coming back to it n the middle of the action.There were a few good surprises. Some of the stunts were obviously planned before the movie and the movie was written around the stunts. It was strange that in the first Mission Impossible movies Tom did things that looked dangerous, but had been controlled to make them safe. In this film (as noted in the specials) all the stunts were telling us how dangerous they really were and how good Tom was to do these for real and without stunt men. It was feeling like Tom might be planning to bow out of the franchise with this one and he wanted to do all these things for real.The villian is one of the best, and you really cannot see how you are going to be able to defeat it. I suspect that when we get to the sequel we will have a major surprise ending and I hope they do it right and no undo the first movie. I have a few theories. It is dangerous to build up a good villian and make it too good, and then you have to make it less good to defeat it. I hope the writers are up to this challenge.For fun and excitement, this one does deliver, and they have managed to keep the franchise interesting.

Pretty good movie!High action, great stunts. The movie has a very good plot and is pretty suspenseful at times.Definitely the best one of the series.I recommend getting all of them. Especially if you are building a collection.The first 2 movies are a pretty weak. My opinion. But, they get better after that. I recommend this!

Enjoyed watching this movie when it first came out in theaters. Can't wait to add part 2 to complete my mission impossible movie collection.

DVD plays well, has a good case, arrived quickly.

The movie was excellent. I still think Fallout is the best Mission Impossible movie thus far. This one did drag at times a bit, but overall it was still a great thrill ride. I loved the cliffhanger at the end leading to the inevitable end to this series.

Great movie
