93% Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol

All Critics (180) | Top Critics (34) | Fresh (168) | Rotten (12)

"Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol" is sheer hurtling mechanism-and it's great silly fun.

As usual with the series, the movie combines a plot line a toddler could understand with gadgets that would baffle an engineering Ph.D.

I'm thinking it, so I might as well say it: Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is no Fast Five.

...it's pretty much state-of-the-art.

[Bird's] fresh touch gives breathless energy, tremendous excitement and, above all, humor to what could have been a wearying genre exercise.

Powered by Cruise's moxie, Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol proves that in a Hollywood action-ride culture drenched in fake adrenaline, it's cathartic to encounter the real thing.

Succeeds in dishing up exactly what you would expect: State of the arts stunts, non-stop action, and a series of clearly laid-out heists and chases that go awry in all kinds of creative ways.

Bird manages the escalations from the preposterous through the more preposterous to the most preposterous with skill and wit...

...great cinematic entertainment.

Better than the tower climb is the scene in which Hunt infiltrates the Kremlin with, essentially, a high-tech magic trick; the playfulness of the effect demonstrates the usefulness of Bird's background in the astonish-the-audience culture of animation.

So exciting you have to remind yourself to breathe.

Ghost pulls off the impossible.

Film number four has found its optimum screen display, its best director for the job and its sense of humour while increasing the gadgets and death-defying stunts.

Something goes wrong and the entire Kremlin blows up. 'The wattage of my smile has overpowered the antiquated Russian electrical grid,' explained Tom.

The cinematography is rewarding enough for a travelogue. The good guy vs. the world with a hateful bad guy is involving. This is another film where you should just leave your brain at home, relax, and enjoy it.

Welcome to the post-Pixar action movie.

Best line of 2011 delivered by Jeremy Renner: "That's it. Next time I get to seduce the rich guy." Why is MI4 so terrific? I screamed out in the theater: "The pants are gonna rip!"

o Bird energa daneisthke kai merikes selides apo to skhnothetiko biblio toy Nolan, me pio ofthalmofanh kai dhlwmenh, th pisth pws to IMAX, kai oxi to S3D, mporei na epanaferei ayth thn apostomwtikh kallitexnikh flasia

It's actually pretty entertaining... but a certain genericness is creeping in.

A mature Tom Cruise is in top form here, displaying a relatively-sophisticated savoir faire in lieu of the easy boyish charm that's served him so well in the past.

It's a great mix that feeds an action junkie's need for death defying stunts but reminds us how dangerous it all really is so that we remain engaged in the tension of the scene.

Exhilarating, nerve-wracking, vertigo-inducing, action-packed popcorn picture, filled with spectacular feats of derring-do.

This is some Star Trek level techno-nonsense, but the locations, stunts, and ambient batsh*ttedness of the entire endeavor provide ample distraction.

Could be the poster boy for disposable films.

By turns eye-watering, knee trembling, heart-pounding and rib-tickling, this gravity-defying blockbuster is what popcorn was invented for. Chomp away!

Literate RP of Post Apocalypse New Society

Hey there. I'm wondering if any one would be interested in an RP that takes place in a new society, over 500 years after the collapse of our own. There would be new wave sciences, fantastical elements, and an adventurous plot, but attempts at in depth character growth and a semblance of reality even in such a fantastical setting would be of great importance as well. Much of the world would look different, with wildlife having retaken war torn and scarred lands, and ruins of the great cities rusting, and falling to wildlife as well. There would be beasts, and bandits and untold dangers outside of the cities, and most of mankind would reside in massive sprawling metropolises built within massive walls. Most travel outside of city walls would be by airship, as the ground is a dangerous place in this world. Anyways, if this sounds like something you might be interested in, let me know. If it gets enough support, I'll create an OOC with full info and character sheets and the like.

Boeing wins $3.48 billion U.S. missile defense contract (Reuters)

(Reuters) ? Boeing Co beat out Lockheed Martin to retain its position as the prime contractor for the U.S. long-range missile shield, the Pentagon said on Friday.

The U.S. Defense Department said it was awarding Boeing a $3.48 billion, seven-year contract to develop, test, engineer and manufacture missile defense systems.

A team led by Lockheed Martin Corp and Raytheon Co had vied with Boeing to expand and maintain the Ground-based Midcourse Defense, or GMD, hub of layered antimissile protection.

Boeing partnered with Northrop Grumman Corp to retain the work.

"We believe the government conducted a fair and open competition, making the right decision for the future of the program," Norm Tew, Boeing vice president and program director of GMD, said in a statement.

Lockheed said it was "honored" to have participated on the bid, a company spokesperson said in a statement on Friday.

The GMD contract's value to Boeing will have been about $18 billion from January 2001, when it formally became the system's prime contractor, through the end of this year, Boeing has said.

GMD uses radar and other sensors plus a 20,000-mile fiber optic communications network to cue interceptors in silos at Fort Greely, Alaska and Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.

The shield has been shaped initially to guard against ballistic missiles that could be fired by Iran and North Korea. It is the only U.S. defense against long-range missiles that could be tipped with chemical, biological or nuclear warheads.

Tulsa?s Future plan includes thousands of $50,000-plus jobs

That is positive news for Tulsa?s Future, a job-creation initiative that has a goal to create 10,000 primary jobs at an annual salary of $50,000 or greater over a five-year period from 2011-2015. Those 10,000 primary jobs, in turn, ultimately will help create 16,000 additional indirect or spin-off jobs.

Those high-value jobs with annual salaries of $50,000 or greater that were created or announced last year support additional jobs, which have an estimated income totaling more than $295 million, according to Tulsa Metro Chamber Economist Bob Ball.

Cops: Pharmacy robber, fed agent shot dead in NY (AP)

NEW YORK ? An off-duty federal law enforcement agent responding to an armed robbery at a pharmacy on Long Island was fatally shot along with the heist suspect, who had taken money and painkillers from the store before he was killed Saturday.

The off-duty Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent died after being taken to a hospital with a gunshot wound, Nassau County police Lt. Kevin Smith said.

The ATF identified the fallen agent as 51-year-old John Capano, a 23-year veteran of the agency, who lived in Massapequa and was married with two children.

Rory O'Connor, assistant special agent in charge in the ATF's New York office, said Capano was a customer at the pharmacy when he chose to intervene in the robbery and apprehend the suspect. "During the course of the struggle, John was shot," O'Connor said.

He described Capano as a "very dedicated, aggressive agent" who, as a trained explosives expert, taught U.S. military and local forces in Afghanistan and Iraq how to do blast investigations.

"He was a veteran agent who did his job well," O'Connor said. "Even though off-duty, he felt the need to take action in an attempt to protect the public from a known robber."

Nassau County police said the unidentified man entered the pharmacy in Seaford and announced an armed robbery about 2 p.m., looking for painkillers and money. Police said that as the man was leaving the store, he was confronted by three individuals ? the ATF agent, an off-duty city police officer and a retired Nassau County police officer.

Shots rang out, and the suspect was struck, the painkillers and cash dropping to the ground, Smith said. The ATF agent also was wounded.

Smith said it was not immediately clear who shot the ATF agent, or how or why the off-duty officer and retired officer arrived at the location at about the same time.

Police declined to say what kind of weapon the robbery suspect was carrying.

The ATF agent was taken to Nassau County Medical Center in East Meadow, where he died. The NYPD officer and retired police officer also were taken to the hospital to be treated for trauma.

Police closed off the sidewalk with tape and covered the body with a white sheet while they investigated, said Razov Felice, owner of an Italian restaurant located down the street. Felice said the area has been struggling with a growing tide of prescription drug abuse.

"There is a lot of problem in Long Island with these drugs," Felice said. "I don't know what people are thinking. The more people talk about these drugs, the more people are trying them."

The shooting occurred about 30 miles west of another Long Island pharmacy where four people were gunned down by a drug addict during a robbery in June on Father's Day.

Nationwide, armed robberies at pharmacies rose 81 percent between 2006 and 2010, from 380 to 686, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

There have been a number of incidents in which New York-area police have fired at off-duty officers who were responding to a crime.

In March, an off-duty Metropolitan Transportation Authority police authority officer shot a Nassau County police officer who was in plainclothes and carrying a rifle. Both men were responding to a crime scene in the town of Massapequa Park.

In May, a New York Police Department officer shot and killed an off-duty colleague who was carrying a gun while chasing a suspected car thief in East Harlem.

In 2008, Westchester County police officers killed an off-duty officer from the New York suburb of Mount Vernon, N.Y. as he was intervening in a fight.
