A successful action thriller is shown with the fourth movie in the Mission Impossible series, Ghost Protocol. Not only does this movie portrayed a heart broken Tom Cruise hanging more then more than 100 stories from Burj Khalifa tower above bustling streets of Dubai, but Cruise claims that he insisted to do as much stunts as he was given permission to in the filming of the mind-bending thriller as main character Ethan Hunt.

An unsolved mystery is whether or not Cruise’s statement was true. In scenes such as the tower scene in Dubai the camera work not only showed the reflection of the streets below against the glass but also showed the warp of the window beneath the actors hands as the weight of his body pressed against the building.

So viewers must ask, was this just the work of extremely advance CGI graphics or was Cruise really as fearless as Ethan Hunt to do the brave human-fly climbing sequence up the worlds tallest building.

Regardless of the truth to this statement made by Cruise himself, the taping and editing in this film was undeniably superb.

Shots of locations and of the beautiful cast, drew eyes to the screen with a scary fascination about what may happen in the next few seconds, the audience not wanting to miss a second of the action.

The entire scene in Dubai was stunning and other visits locations such as a violent scene in Budapest, and a brief snippet of Seattle shown pre-credit were shot with extraordinary angles and seamless camera work that visits to those locations must have crossed the minds of most audience viewers.

The action spy movie started with Hunts extraction from a prison in Moscow. Then the USA was implicated in the bombing of Kremlin which the Russians took as an act as an undeclared act of war and the United States president activated the black operation contingency “Ghost Protocol” hence the films name. The Ghost Protocol initiates the cancelation of Hunt’s team the IMF (Impossible Missions Force). Hunt and his team including well known actors such as Paula Patton, Jeremy Renner, and Simon Pegg now goes rouge in order to save the world from a forthcoming nuclear war.

This fourth installment into the Mission Impossible is just as excitement and captivating as the first film to hit the series in 1996.

Prepare yourself for great graphics, beautiful actors, fast cars, and a stimulating escape from the troubles of every day life.
