I didn't see this film when it came out, but I used to love the Mission: Impossible TV series back in the seventies.

So this really annoyed me. Why the fuck would you make Jim a traitor? The heroic leader of the IM team for years? The man to whom the self-destructing message was always given. Give him a peaceful retirement, for god's sake. Or just leave him out of it. Don't have him betray everything he ever stood for.

I mean Jesus fuck almighty. It's like if Star Trek: The Next Generation had come along, and they were like, oh yeah, Kirk? He was a Romulan agent all along. Blew up the old Enterprise and everyone on board.

That's the kind of betrayal this film starts with.

Anyway, some shit happens. Things explode. Restaurants, helicopters, trains. Fuck knows.
