Mission Impossible (1996)
Country: US
Technical: col/scope 110m
Director: Brian de Palma
Cast: Tom Cruise, Emmanuelle Béart, Jean Reno, Jon Voight
Synopsis:
The CIA launch a mission to apprehend the thief of a classified list of agents which is in fact a molehunt for a traitor. When all his comrades are killed the apparent culprit goes after the real list in an effort to prove his innocence.
Review:
A good few cold-war espionage tropes are trotted out with nostalgic relish and some modern polish in this homage to the Sixties TV series. The director builds up a couple of tense sequences in his deliberate trademark style, the production is first-rate along Bond lines, but there is a degree of tiredness about it all.
