Critics Consensus

Stylish, fast-paced, and loaded with gripping set pieces, the fourth Mission: Impossible is big-budget popcorn entertainment that really works.

Reel Talk Online

Although it lacks some of its original slickness and more surprising twists, Ghost Protocol really breathes new life into the franchise.

Keith & the Movies

The action scenes are huge and sometimes jaw-dropping, and Bird’s visual style makes it easy to overlook the sheer unbelievability of some of the sequences. The Dubai skyscraper scene alone is worth the ticket price.

Rated: 4/5

This movie gets gritty, and the grit sells. When the heroes are pushed to the limits and to unknown territory that drama becomes an exciting journey. Excellent directing, acting and writing.
