Mission Statement [Digipak] - Jimmy Greene

Advantages: brilliant crew
Disadvantages: far too serious

...Stories about II World War Nazis are out of fashion. On the territory of UK or USA there are hardly any audience who enjoy watching it. Apart from the Jewish communities as most number victims of holocaust. However, Michael Caine is brilliant choice for such role. Michael Caine is a brilliant actor, just as well, but his choice of roles is notoriously wayward when it comes to commercial issues, of course. Like he?s, on porpoise choosing only the once he wants. However, if we take look at his career, we might say he deserved this privilege of choosing. After astonishing, Oscar-nominated ?The Quiet American?, there's a new role of a bad guy in ?The Statement?. Here?s little pleasure for people who enjoy plotting conspiracy films.

...Jimmy Carr is obviously a man who loves his work - on a recent chat show he explained that on completing a mammoth one hundred and sixty date tour he simply starts all over again.

...Mission Impossible (1996) We just felt in the mood for an older movie, but an excellent film all the same to watch as a family, as pickings are a bit slim at the moment. My children picked it for us to watch as a family. What's it all about? Of course the film is based upon the same set up used in the television series of the same name.

The film is a secret agent movie, with a group of agents given the task of going to Prague to stop a top secret list of agents, passing into the hands of traitors. The group are told to walk away if the mission fails and that their bosses will not admit to knowing them if they are captured. The mission does go awry and it seems that all of the agents are killed, all except for Ethan Hunt (Tom... Read review
