Yes, it's a hit machine, a blockbuster by the numbers. But it's actually sharper, less reverential and generally
better than MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, a stylish, globe-trotting, action-packed espionage romp in the style of James

recover the doomsday bug with the help of Nyah Nordoff-Hall (Thandie Newton), a stunner of the glamorous, light-fingered international felon variety...
