Goofs:
Errors in geography: At the end of the fight between Owen and Ethan, Ethan rolls over so that Owen is on top, allowing him to be struck by the speeding truck. However, when we next see the road in which they were lying, it is a narrow side street completely blocked by stationary cars.

The 'Mission: Impossible' movie franchise continues its tradition of bearing little resemblance to the TV series but, unlike John Woo's instalment, this one is a cracking film on its own terms. Nods to the show are welcome when they come along, though (musical cues, the astonishing shot where Cruise puts on a disguise and the ensuing mini-'Mission'). Small screen genius J.J. Abrams and two of his 'Alias' writers have crafted an intense, smart actioner that takes a ton of potentially stock genre sequences and makes them fresh again, the plot jacknifing in unexpected directions any number of times with characters interacting in unexpected ways. The Cruiser again displays an astonishing amount of charisma and star power, while Philip Seymour Hoffman makes for the coldest, most hateable villain since Clarence Boddicker.
