Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol

The new MI movie is quite good. I could see Brad Bird's fingerprints all over it, which we liked. V-Dawg also has a good review up.

Jonathan was impressed that Tom Cruise actually had some facial expressions. I was impressed that the hero was allowed to make mistakes in his daredeviling: he would swing through the air and smash into the edge of whatever he was aiming for, and his partners would have to grab him and haul him inside. Also unusual, for an action movie, was that fights actually wore the combatants down. You could watch the injuries adding up and the combatants getting tired. All in all, well done.

It was also very clean, aside, of course, for all the action violence. The requisite seduction scene was discreetly handled and ended... not to spoil it, but not in a classic seduction. The language was also very clean, unless you speak Russian.
