Run time: 133 min
If you go to Dubai make sure you checked these items. Eyeglasses to protect eyes from sandstorm? Check. Some piece of ethnic cloth to cover your mouth and nose. Check. Money to go there? Not checked.
But after you saw Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt climbing Burj Khalifa in a stunning way, you will want to visit Dubai and check that money. But not climbing Burj Khalifa all by yourself. As usual the fourth outing of the profitable spy franchise beside James Bond and Jason Bourne is full with superlatives. Everything must be grander, bigger and more. There's daring escape, infiltration and game of trick that will make you wonder, perhaps that's how David Copperfield is able to do his flying illusion.
Here, Brad Bird has successfully make a leap from animation into live action. Although in terms of action, Christopher Nolan's Inception is much more mind bending than this one. Which will make Nolan a better candidate for James Bond movies than Brad Bird. But it doesn't mean that this one is lame. In fact it was thrilling especially the scene in Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world.
The whole film gravitate towards Tom Cruise and for some reason I don't know he let his hair just like in the second film. The rest of the cast is decent with scene stealer Simon Pegg edged by Anil Kapoor, a big star in India, for comedic relief. This time the spies of IMF are not only relying on gadget but their hunch and improvisation, something that gives the element of surprise and thrill for this film.
Some might complain that it has comedic element, in fact it has the A113 signature from Brad Bird. But the real complain lies with the two dimensional villain. Little screen time was spent for the villain to unleash his character, unlike in the third film where Phillip Seymour Hoffmann can bring a very scary villain into the screen.
The rest is just action after action after action and it will entertain you to the max, making you feel that it is not the cold December winter but the hot summer of blockbuster movies.
