The action in this movie was phenomenal. I was on the edge of my seat most of the movie. If you are looking for anything realistic, this is probably not your movie. The characters take blows to the head that would turn their brain into mush, but they are hardly phased. There is a lot of this in this movie, but MI movies are known for that. Story was just okay. It wasn't like the last Rambo movie where there was no story at all; it was just kind of so so. You walk away from the movie remembering the action and sound, not the story. But it was definitely better than the last MI where a helicoptor flies through a tunnel.
