Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One

Product Information

This would become very commonplace in later years to the extent that nowadays you wonder if they've simply created a load of action scenes then tried to join them together with a plot (which, coincidentally, is how this movie was made—they started shooting without a working script). On a dangerous assignment to recover stolen plutonium, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) chooses to save his team over completing the mission, allowing nuclear weapons to fall into the hands of a deadly network of highly-skilled operatives intent on destroying civilisation. With the support of his IMF team (Ving Rhames, Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Maggie Q), Ethan leaps into spectacular adventure from Rome to Shanghai as he races to rescue a captured agent (Keri Russell) and stop Davian from eliminating his next target: Ethan's wife, Julia (Michelle Monaghan).

The Mission: Impossible franchise is a series of American action films that follow the story of Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), an agent of the Impossible Missions Force (IMF). Ethan Hunt and his IMF team must track down a dangerous weapon before it falls into the wrong hands. I watched this movie back in the day and couldn't follow the plot any more than I could see through a brick wall on a foggy night in old London Town, while wearing sunglasses that somebody had painted over with black paint. Forced to go on the run, Ethan unites with two disavowed IMF agents to find the real traitor and recover the lost NOC list before the identity of every agent is revealed. Fleeing from government assassins, breaking into the CIA's most impenetrable vault, clinging to the roof of a speeding bullet train, Hunt races like a burning fuse to stay one step ahead of his pursuers.Tom Cruise ignites the screen in this runaway smash hit that "holds you on the edge of your seat before blasting you out of it" (Howard Rosenberg, Los Angeles Times). Extras: Language(s): English-United States, French-Parisian, Hard of Hearing Subtitles: English, Subtitles: English-United Kingdom, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French-Parisian, Norwegian, Swedish, Interactive Menu, Screen ratio 1:2. Nice complex plot, great acting, brilliant stunts that will keep you ton the edge of your seats and a really enjoyable movie. Lured back into action by his agency superiors (Laurence Fishburne and Billy Crudup), Ethan faces his deadliest adversary yet - a sadistic weapons dealer named Owen Davian (Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman).

I didn't see this release coming if I'm being honest but I'm well impressed with the overall product, Brian De Palma's Mission Impossible has always been a good film and it was a taste of things to come with the sequels. They could've made it easier to understand had they embellished a certain key scene with a visual flashback, rather than just an auditory one. Browse a selection of DVDs and Blu-rays (including exclusive steelbooks) featuring each instalment in the series, and enjoy the complete soundtrack on the prestigious vinyl format. Ethan and team take on their most impossible mission yet, eradicating the Syndicate - an International rogue organization as highly skilled as they are, committed to destroying the IMF. Ethan Hunt (Cruise) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: to track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands.Credit subject to status, UK residents only, Entertainment Magpie Limited t/a Music Magpie acts as a broker and offers finance from a restricted range of finance providers, PayPal Credit is a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH.
