this be a tom cruise spy film . unfortunately it be not a mission represent impossible film and and that be my problem . the overall most important element of the tv series be the plot the heist and the robbery and the fraud and the trickery and the whatever . the team ( the brain and the girl and the technician and the muscle and the actor ) in effect be only there to move the plot forward . but and say that and we really get to know and trust these anonymous agent while a tribute to such excellent actor a peter graf and martin landau and leonard nimoy . the first thing that this film do be kill off the team . disgraceful . and then various member of the new team he put together turn out to be traitor . drivel . and then at the end of the film they completely trash the reputation of tv great spy master jim phelps . terrible . sorry and but this be not the film that i want to see . it say a lot that accord to rumour the producer do not see fit to offer any of the original cast member of mission represent impossible so much a even a silent cameo in this movie . ( imagine the great martin landau a the aged rollin hand . what a missed opportunity ) . i think another case of buy a title and do what you like with it . see the saint for further detail .
