I busted out my BluRay of the first one and holy poo poo does this movie need a remaster. Having a bunch of recognizable actors get offed in the first act and blowing up the premise of the TV show was pretty clever before there were five of these goddamn things. I distinctly remember spending 96 feeling like nobody was safe in an action movie. That was the same year Executive Decision stopped being a Steven Seagal movie 20 minutes in out of loving nowhere. It had a whole paranoid vibe coming from a post-Cold War realization that the world might actually be less safe with the "bad guy" Soviets in disarray. Mission Impossible definitely makes up for script deficiencies with De Palma being paid enough to actually try. Tom Cruise made a pretty fun spy movie where he never fires a gun and doesn't have magic Kung Fu powers. Plus there's a scene where a 90s PC laptop has a TV tuner - not sure how it was getting The McLaughlin Group in the Ukraine, but still, that was fun to see as an 11 year old nerd.
