"Powered by Cruise's moxie, Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol proves that in a Hollywood action-ride culture drenched in fake adrenaline, it's cathartic to encounter the real thing."

This Reviewer liked it!
David Denby, New Yorker
""Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol" is sheer hurtling mechanism-and it's great silly fun."

Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine
"I'm thinking it, so I might as well say it: Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is no Fast Five."

When reading reviews remember:
"Critics are like eunuchs in a harem; they know how its done, they've seen it done every day, but they're unable to do it themselves."
--Brendan Behan (successful Irish dramatist)

"Having the critics praise you is like having the hangman say you've got a pretty neck."
--Eli Wallach (award winning screen actor)
