Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, 2011 - ★★★½

The best since DePalma’s and a huge step forward for the franchise. Simon Pegg’s comic relief, Lea Seydoux’s bangs AND considerably better set pieces (essentially the whole Dubai act) really elevate this one above JJ Abrams hack work.

Brad Bird just brings a lot of the fun of “The Incredibles” gadgets and turns in 
a great spy action thriller.
