In this third film of the series, Ethan Hunt has retired from the field, and is training new agents
. His sweetheart Julia (Michelle Monaghan) thinks he works for the Department of Transportation
When one of his pupils is kidnapped by a sadistic arms dealer Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman), Hunt decides to assemble his old team to retrieve her, putting in mortal danger his new love
J.J. Abramsin his first feature filmshot "Mission: Impossible III" with a sense of timing and suspense
We're dealing with full-flash blanks, glass breaking, explosions
And we see Hunt, in a quite interesting shot, running up a wall to enter the Vatican
Also, in the bridge sequence, he runs away from a rocket hit on one of the vehicles
It's cool because the way he's running, the look on his face, before, during and after that impact could only have been done only by an actor as good as him
In China, in an old fishing village, we see him jumping off tile rooftops, with incredible grace, precision, coordination and footwork
Then, with Lindsey Farris (Keri Russell) they jump out of a building on a cable landing on a truck
The special effects, and visual effects are great
They all work together... The Shanghai street chase with Tom leaning out of the car at some insanely dangerous angle to shoot a gun under a truck; Also Tom, in a high-speed boat, on the Tiber River in Rome, Italy; the blowing of a nice spectacular sports car; and, of course, the helicopter chase sequence where, in pursuit, the bad-guy helicopter emerges out of a fireball
Also, in a fantastic shot, in Shanghai, China, when the camera comes in and then goes around Tom as he's standing on top of a Shanghai roof
The camera comes over his shoulder and look down at the ground, so we'll see Tom on the top of the Shanghai building, hundreds feet in the air, and just to show and set up the jeopardy of what he's about to accomplish
Well, I loved the director's work
He's so detail-oriented
The fun, the adventure, the creativity, never eased up
And, please, don't miss Colleen Atwood, entering the Vatican, with a head-turner red dress

"Excute"
Ethan Hunt must return to the field to bring down a notorious arms dealer, but it seems there is a mole in Ethan's team and now he must rescue his wife from the bad guys.
This film is pure substance, great scenery and great action sequences.
The clothes and weapons scream sexy.
Tom Cruise is fantastic as Ethan the spy who knows no danger.
The stunts are breathtaking and the new cast members play a roles that are needed and hopefully will expand in future franchises.
The music score is perfect once again and keeps the audience guessing, the action scenes are perfectly placed in the order that they come in.
Good solid action film that does not disappoint.
JJ Abrams' super-agent Felicity and Bad obvious twist
Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is trying to live a normal life with his girlfriend Julia (Michelle Monaghan) who doesn't know his secret life. Ethan is now a trainer, but when his protégé Lindsey Farris (Keri Russell) is captured by weapons dealer Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman), he goes back into the field to rescue her.
I really find it weird to see J.J. Abrams use Felicity as a secret agent. It looks silly, and I can't buy it. On top of that, PSH is not the most threatening villain. Nevertheless, the action is great. The big scene on the bridge with the drone is done quite well. The action scene of Cruise getting slammed into the car by the explosion is done beautifully. I still had high hopes for this, but then comes the twist.
It's telegraphed a mile away. It starts with agency head (Laurence Fishburne) over reacting by imprisoning Ethan. It makes no sense since Ethan was the guy who caught Davian in the first place. There's obviously a mole, and Ethan is the last guy on the suspect list. Whoever the mole is would want Ethan to be out there getting the Rabbit's Foot. So when that guy helped Ethan escaped, he's the obvious mole. And him not knowing the capture plan for Davian just seals the case for moleship.
The third act is just too silly. With all the action in the movie, the climax should be rocking action but it goes smaller. It's as if the movie just runs out of energy. We're supposed to be shocked by the reveal, but the twist was already obvious 15 minutes before. This movie had its moments, but it's not the best.
