Mission : Impossible protocole fantôme

Brad Bird et son équipe ne réinventent donc pas la roue avec Ghost Protocol, mais parviennent néanmoins à tirer le maximum de tous les éléments à leur disposition pour offrir une intrigue bien ficelée, et surtout bien dosée entre ses séquences de développement et d'action, entre son ton plus sérieux et ses diverses pointes d'humour, pour en faire l'épisode le plus convaincant de la série depuis celui de 1996.

On the whole, it's a pretty decent package - as long as you can handle Cruise gift-wrapped in a blue silk bow.

Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol takes every negative expectation from its clunky title, its aging star, its newbie director, and uses it for fuel; it runs faster, goes bigger, and tells stories better than nearly any action film this year - and makes it all look easy in the process.

Wall-to-wall action in a spectacular, if repetitive, fourth series entry.

Oscar-winning animator Brad Bird seems to have accomplished the impossible with the fourth Mission: Impossible installment by injecting the 15-year-old series with newfound, breathtaking energy.

If someone asks you what a true movie star is, point to Cruise. He has it all. And he's found an ideal collaborator in Bird. You leave Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol thinking that these guys can do anything.

The fourth in the franchise, this Mission has a solid cast, including a notable new co-star in Jeremy Renner; a new director, Brad Bird; and a story that's as nonsensical as any in the series.

Avec un budget qui frise et coiffe l'obscénité (140 millions de carottes américaines), Ghost Protocol, quatrième film de la franchise Mission: Impossible n'est finalement rien qu'un autre film d'action sympathique et sans prétention qui offre de bons moments. Enfin, deux ou trois.
