Review snapshotWhile the sequences that _Mission: Impossible_ is most famous for (the ceiling-descent and train-top) are truly thrilling, absolutely everything in between these scenes is obvious and uninspired. Rarely can a movie have you so completely engaged one minute, and then immediately back to checking the time the next.
An important film, pop-culturally speaking, but not a very good one.
_Final rating:★★ - Had some things that appeal to me, but a poor finished product._
