"Your mission, should you choose to accept it ..."

Three films in to the Tom Cruise starring 'Mission: Impossible' series, and we're on to our third director: Here, JJ Abrams taking over from John Woo who himself took over from Brian de Palma.

And, so far, each of those directors has stamped their own identity on their respective films.

This is the one where Ethan Hunt is, as the movie starts, retired from active duty and spends his time training new recruits to the IMF while also just about to settle down with his fiancee.

When one of those recruits goes missing on an routine operation, however, Hunt soon finds himself drawn back into active service ...

This is also the one where the late Philip Seymour Hoffin is the main villain of the piece; the one that first introduces Simon Pegg's character of Benji (who, like Ving Rhames, so far appears in all the later instalments) and that has the whole 'bomb-in-your-head' shtick.

Very Basic luck based deduction

Not a very interesting game, you "hide your ships" and then take random shots marked on a axis based grid, and if you hit you hunt around that space until you sink the ship. it's a bit of a race to see who can outlast the other, but the only skill involved is in reading you opponent and guessing where he/she hides their ships. we can do better.

This is the perfect Christmas gift to your friends with kids! Like me that have probably read "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" too many times to count and the rhythm has become so ingrained that if they walk at the right place they could start reciting the book. Kudos to these fictional parents, if I did their pub crawl I would be sloshed enough to think I saw a bear too!

Very slow to get going (1 more)

Just bland and rather boring considering the concept

Misses the target

Another one to miss on Netflix. The premise sounds a bit like a red neck Hard Target film out in the desert. It was so slow getting to the main action of the film. Even when the hunt does get going it's not tense or interesting. Watch Hard Target again or even @The Tournament (2009)
