Not my traditional genre, but I do like these '
James Bond / Action' types that have no connection to (my) reality (not that 'chick flicks' do for that matter, either...). And while
Tom Cruise is more than occasionally idiotic in his public statements, the movies that I have seen of his are fairly formulaic: there is 'the look' (the 'I'm serious' one); there is the 'I'm appreciative of the opposite sex' look (in this case of an actress named
Paula Patton whom I don't recall in
Hitch or
Sweet Home Alabama); and, last but not least, is his trademark 'run' (that I first recall in
The Firm and was embellished in
Jerry MaGuire).
Now the reason this review might seem somewhat 'padded' is ... that it is - and, there is not much else to say: being the fourth MI movie, the series, too, has become somewhat formulaic. But I did like it and would watch it again. My only additional comment is about
Simon Pegg (
Star Trek - Scotty) who adds excellent comic relief.
