Ethan Hunt comes out of retirement to hunt down a dangerous arms dealer who's kidnapped his wife. Abrams does a wonderful job with a brisk pace that never slows down long enough to allow you realize how silly it all is. It's pretty much a paint-by-numbers action film but has just enough enthusiasm and popcorn thrills to rise above boredom. Cruise performs his obligatory bat-shit crazy stunt that never ceases to amaze but the rest of the action is nothing we haven't seen before. It's tightly wound story never strays too far from it's mark and in the end will leave the action-junkie suitably satisfied, lens flare and all.
