Mix equal parts James Bond and Jason Bourne, add a twist of Tom Cruise in full action hero mode, strain it all through the keen visual style of director Brad Bird and what do you get? More than two hours of thrilling high-octane movie madness. What makes Ghost Protocol more than just another big – make that huge – budget action movie is a combination of the sheer intensity of the stunts and the thoroughly enjoyable chemistry shared between Cruise and his IMF team. They don’t ever really come across as tough guys on a dangerous mission; instead, the team feels more like old friends hanging out and swapping stories at a back yard barbecue. They look cool when the bullets start to fly, too, but when they aren’t fighting, they fall back and relax with each other.
