Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol

                        The new Mission Impossible movie is the best action movie that I have seen in a while.  The fight scenes are incredibly fun to watch and the characters are perfect for the story and outcome of the movie.  Not since "The Dark Knight" have I seen a movie that was nonstop fun from beginning to end.  The dialogue of the movie carries the story from one operation to the next while adding jokes that are funny and yet not over-the-top.

                          Another aspect of the movie that I really enjoyed was the variety of international locations that were used.  Ethan Hunt (played by Tom Cruise) and his team travel to exotic areas like Moscow, Dubai, and Mumbai to stop the villain from setting off a nuclear war.  Each of the settings of the movie are fantastically shot and used well as a background for the chase scenes.

Grade: A-
