3686 - MISSÃO IMPOSSÍVEL (1996)

Brian De Palma believes one Mission: Impossible movie was "enough" for the  franchise
A cena clássica do filme

        MISSÃO IMPOSSÍVEL (MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, USA, 1996) – esta primeira edição da série tem um enredo complexo – e isso talvez seja um de seus pontos altos. Uma das atrações é a presença da bela Kristin Scott Thomas, como parte do time de Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise). The film does weave a complicated plot and requires the audience's attention, but that is actually one of the film's strengths. One of the highlights is Kirstin Scott Thomas’ presence as part of Ethan Hunt’s team. It doesn't proceed in an entirely normal manner, hitting all the usual beats you would expect from a Mission: Impossible story, so while it follows the formula to a degree, it also manages to stand that formula on its head. If the film does fall short, plot wise, it is principally in one area involving a central twist to the story. From the moment the backstory for this twist is introduced early in the film until the plot finally reveals it, there is nothing terribly surprising about it. The final scenes of the film do suggest that it is not what it would seem to be, but even still, the fact that so major a plot element in a film that is supposed to be a suspense thriller is so easily deduced is a bit of a letdown.
