Movie review - "Mission Impossible" (1996) **1/2 (re watching)

 This feels like it was made so long ago. The template is actually more influenced by Brian De Palma movies than I recalled - the opening fake out, the twists, the paranoia, split screens.

It doesn't feel as smoothly directed as his best films though. It feels choppy.  Cut about. Too often like a TV episode on the big screen. 

Emmanuel Beart is beautiful and enigmatic but had she already had work done? Some poor special effects. The script is better than the final movie.

I've always thought you should review the better episodes of the original '66 TV series.
