Quick takes for the break: Mission: Impossible

Maybe for the first time all year, you’ve got enough free time to get out and see a movie. Over the break, we’ll provide occasional “quick takes” on movies we’ve seen, briefly covering what we liked, what we didn’t like, and whether it’s worth your time and money. After the jump: Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol

I may or may not have seen the other Mission: Impossible movies. I probably have because I remember that line—“your mission, should you choose to accept it…” In any case, I walked into the cinema expecting to switch off my brain and be hand fed entertainment.

What happened in the first three movies? I don’t know. Go check IMDb if you really want to know. It doesn’t really matter. Tom Cruise and his friends are good. Someone else is evil. There will be guns, there will be stunts, and the world will blow up if Tom Cruise fails.
