Have You Seen Mission Impossible 4 Ghost Protocol

Tom Cruise is out to prove something. When is he not? Of all modern movie stars, he may be the one most eager for constant validation, as if he’d curl up and die if we ever thought he was past it, or merely coasting. See, he can play funny and bald (Tropic Thunder), mean and murderous (Collateral), or a Nazi (Valkyrie), if required. Today, Cruise must prove that there’s fresh life in the Mission: Impossible franchise, though, in fairness, the commercially underperforming third one was pretty solid. How better to do it than jump, in person, off the tallest building in the world?
The Dubai section in Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, in which Cruise spiders his way up the face of the Burj Khalifa, then sprints down it as if trying to break the vertical 800m record, proves everything Cruise wanted it to, above all that he’s picked the right director to make these set pieces fly. It’s better still in Imax.
Brad Bird worked wonders on The Incredibles, which isn’t even his best movie (that would be 1999’s The Iron Giant), but it’s the one that sets the tone for this kind of gravity-defying ensemble caper. As there, the script surrounds Cruise with a differently gifted family of fellow operatives, including a faithful pet (Simon Pegg’s Benji), a lovely but platonic sidekick (Paula Patton), and an “enigmatic” new buddy (Jeremy Renner), who must collectively prevent a nuclear strike, mainly by running around with cool gizmos, and jet-setting to the most urgently photogenic places on Earth.
Still, a lot of credit goes to Cruise here, who’s succeeded over these four films in making Ethan Hunt into a strangely intriguing alter ego. Hunt, like Cruise, is itchily uncomfortable in his own skin – they’re both drawn to disguise – and we spot signs of fatigue, of here-we-go-again, which give him mature grit and appeal.
The movies may force Cruise to show off, to scale mountains and skyscrapers like a sinewy circus performer, but those gritted pearly whites betray an underlying reluctance: when Pegg pats him on the back in dubious reassurance before the Burj ascent, you feel a weird jolt of sympathy for the star, however much he’s pocketing. Then he’s out and clambering, 124 floors up, with a sandstorm brewing on the horizon, and the raw thrill of vertigo sweeps you up and away.
