Mission: Impossible is an action-packed spy movie and is the first movie in the Mission impossible franchise. The movie revolves around a CIA agent named Ethan Hunt. When he's sent on a mission with his good friend, Jim Phelps, and things take a dangerous turn, Hunt's entire team dies, and because Ethan is the only survivor, the U.S. government believes that Hunt is a rat. The only way to prove his evidence is to get information at the CIA's headquarters. Because of this, Ethan Hunt builds a team of people to break into the CIA to hack into a computer that is inside of a heavily guarded vault that is equipped with top-notch technology, making it a nearly impossible task. Hunt hires a brilliant hacker and a pilot to help him gain the information, but once he gets the information, he gets crossed by someone he trusts, and it will take everything Ethan Hunt has learned up until this point to survive and prove his innocence. 

 Mission: Impossible is filled to the brim with thrilling twists and turns at seemingly every corner. The vivid visual effects are pretty good, although nothing to brag about, but that's only when the somewhat lackluster special effects are compared with the ones that are showcased in recent movies. The enticing ending of the movie is thought through, carefully crafted, and well executed, as well as one of the movie's many highlights. The plot isn't dumb like all too many spy movies are. Instead, the idea of the movie is brilliant, and the movie's well doneness does the old television show justice. 

 Although critics didn't seem to think that highly of the movie, Google users gave the movie an impressive 90% rating, but Rotten Tomatoes gave the movie a not-so great 64%, which isn't horrific but certainly isn't amazing by any means. The background music for the film is smartly chosen and help make the movie more exciting and entertaining. Tom Cruise plays Ethan Hunt to perfection, and it is easy to see why he has become the face of the franchise, since the adventurous spy's role is without a doubt the role made for him.  

 Although the plot is slightly confusing at times, the movie is an enormous amount of fun and truly is a must-see. Mission: Impossible has just about everything: a double-crosser, betrayal, action, adventure, thievery, visual effects, an intelligent ending, a good plot, impressive character development, and a hero that is an instant fan-favorite. Mission: Impossible will absolutely not disappoint and surpass expectations triumphantly. Mission accomplished.
