Superbly directed action from the first minute to the last! Even if I still hold the original as my favourite in the series, the sensational stunts of this film is definitely one for the record books. The jaw-dropping sequence at the Burj Khalifa hotel - a rush of adrenaline that exhilarates to the extreme - comes especially to mind. Cast-wise, it's quite the pleasure as well. British funnyman Simon Pegg provides some nice comic relief (although corny such at times), while Paula Patton and Jeremy Renner bring out their absolute A-game. And for me as a Swede, it was an incredible, if somewhat surreal joy to see Michael Nyqvist as the villain. Just a few years ago, I would have never guessed him to take the leap over to Hollywood, but I'm sure glad that he did. Especially as he's one of the finest actors that our country has to present. As for the film's front figure, I can say only this: no longer may I have any respect for Tom Cruise the person (he's still a Scientologist after all), but he certainly hasn't faded one bit as a dare-devil action star. So what it boils down to here is one of the true must-see popcorn movies of 2011. Kudos to director Brad Bird, for making the impossible possible, and granting us an invite to a sequel that breathes new life into the franchise. He really pulled out all the stops on this one, delivering a fun and energizing, balls-to-the-wall action-fest. If it doesn't raise your pulse, you are either dead or made of stone. Because as far as spy thrillers go, this is one of the coolest ever conceived.
