It’s funny to see Ethan Hunt as “the goofy one” in the group.

The thing is, FALLOUT is just as twisty and turny as the first film, and yet, somehow I can tell you the plot in one viewing as opposed to the zillion times I've seen the first one (where I still have no clue what's going on.) The plot to M:I-1 has been ripped off by succeeding spy movies. Basically the bad guys have the names of spies on the field and they need to recover it. Yeah. It just tries to be way to smart for its own good. There is some amazing filmmaking on display though (as expected from De Palma.) |

Alright. That was 10 minutes instead of 20. Time for food.

The movie paused on Tom Cruise smiling. How funny.
Anyway... the “original team” is Jon Voight, Tom Cruise, French actress Emmanuelle Beart, Emilio Estevez and Kristen Scott Thomas.
They’re tasked with recovering the file.

Emilio Estevez is the Ving Rhames/Simon Pegg. Can you imagine if he were still in these movies? lol.

Yeah. Kill your cast in the first 25 minutes.

The fish tank is coming up. There’s little De Palma moments but this is the first BIG scene.

So this is the first of many times where the IMF turns against Ethan Hunt. It’s amazing how often he can put up with this bullshit. lol.

So basically, the disc with spy names is bait for a mole hunt. Ethan is now offering “Max” to steal the real one.

Great use of the Mission Impossible theme to set up the most iconic scene in the movie: breaking into the CIA to steal a file.

Any debate about the best Mission Impossible ends there. Amazing scene. PG Cooper should do a video essay on it. |

I don’t think modern audiences realize Jon Voight is playing the Peter Graves character from the TV series. Turning him into the villain was ballsy.

I can’t believe they gave that Best Picture Oscar to English Patient. Outrageous.

I think that train scene is a great lesson in creating action scene. That nonsense ending in Fallout lasted an eternity. Keep it short and sweet. PG Cooper, I just gave you two video essays. Stop playing Fortnite and get to work. |

The best part of the movie? It’s only an hour and 50 minutes.
