Synopsis: This is not just another mission. The IMF is shut down when it's implicated in a global terrorist bombing plot. Ghost Protocol is initiated and Ethan Hunt and his rogue new team must go undercover to clear their organization's name. No help, no contact, off the grid. You have never seen a mission grittier and more intense than this. -- (C) Paramount

Critic Reviews

  • Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service
    Brad Bird passes his audition for a career as a live-action director. And Ghost Protocol more than makes its bones as an argument for why Tom Cruise should continue in this role as long as his knees, and his nerves, hold up.
  • David Denby, New Yorker
    "Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol" is sheer hurtling mechanism-and it's great silly fun.
  • J. R. Jones, Chicago Reader
    As usual with the series, the movie combines a plot line a toddler could understand with gadgets that would baffle an engineering Ph.D.
  • Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
    I'm thinking it, so I might as well say it: Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is no Fast Five.
  • Glenn Kenny, MSN Movies
    ...it's pretty much state-of-the-art.
  • Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune
    [Bird's] fresh touch gives breathless energy, tremendous excitement and, above all, humor to what could have been a wearying genre exercise.
  • Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
    Powered by Cruise's moxie, Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol proves that in a Hollywood action-ride culture drenched in fake adrenaline, it's cathartic to encounter the real thing.
  • Tom Long, Detroit News
    Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is top-notch popcorn entertainment, chock-full of dazzling stunts and heroic moments, played out at a near-hysterical pitch.
  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
    Ghost Protocol is a very good thrill ride and Cruise is better than he's been in a long time.
  • Peter Howell, Toronto Star
    The real mission is to renew a stale franchise, and here Ghost Protocol largely succeeds, on the strength of good action scenes - including an IMAX-enhanced Dubai skyscraper dangle by Cruise - and the good humour of a well-chosen cast.
