Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol (2011)

FILM4, 9.00PM ★★★★

Tom Cruise rises to the challenge in this gravity-defying thrill ride. The plot surrounds Cruise with a gifted gang of operatives, including a faithful friend (Simon Pegg’s Benji), a lovely but platonic sidekick (Paula Patton), and a new buddy (Jeremy Renner), who must collectively prevent a nuclear strike. Brad Bird directs. The sequel Rogue Nation follows at the same time tomorrow.
