Ethan Hunt is on it again, out on the run to stop the world from a plutonium bomb in the hands of Mr. Lane from the previous M.I. film.

I felt the strengths of the film were its excellent practical effects, choreography, direction and overall production value.

The serious premise of the film unfortunately was severely infiltrated by Christopher McQuarrie's writing. To me it seemed there was way too much wit in the writing, forcing the actors to say things in very unnatural ways. Worst of all was Henry Cavill's "performance", which I found to be deeply unconvincing and not at all charming as the bad guy. Tom Cruise was Tom Cruise, and I think it worked on some levels and did not on others. The supporting cast were performing well.

Well, you get bang for buck in terms of action and wonderfully looking effects, but a rather cheap script for my taste compromises the overall quality of the film, especially considering this alongside great action films.
