Comfortably the best movie in this series - incredibly well done, with a first rate script, superb direction, lots of flair and a terrific cast. Tom Cruise is yeah whatever - Ethan Hunt really isn't much of a role - but he is a movie star and he fills the screen. Simon Pegg gives this genuine humour and warmth, Paul Patton is a terrific new star (sexy, enigmatic, believably physical with the action stuff), Jeremy Renner impresses in the is-he-really-a-traitor part.
The settings and characters reflect the shifting world economy - it's hardly set in America, the big money is in Russia, India and the Middle East. It pays very good continuity tribute to Mission Impossible 3 even though this is far superior. Great old fashioned action entertainment in the best sense - there's even a race against time to stop a nuclear war.
