Sonovabitch this movie is still one of the best spy films of my lifetime and easily the best MI movie of the series.
No film in the franchise will ever have a guy like DePalma directing it ever again and Cruise was at peak powers and movie stardom.
It just has a timeless feel to it, too and has callbacks to 60s-70s films like 3 Days of the Condor, The Conversation and others of that ilk, their not just pure "action" films like they are now.

Ving Rhames was the worst part of the movie....just like most of his movies.

This movie will forever hold a special place in my heart. Love everything about it.

Is that the one where they flew the helicopter into the chunnel?

I remember watching as a kid with no knowledge of the internet (I was in elementary school at the time). I was absolutely fascinated by the notion that you could pull up bible verse text by doing a search. My mind was blown.

It's surprising that this movie was made in 1996. I always thought it was a late 80s film.
That being said, I watched it the other day, and I do not feel that it has aged very well at all.

It’s the latest episode of the Rewatchables podcast out as well for those who need something to listen to

I remember it sort of getting panned by the critics when it came out.
I don't know why, it's an enjoyable film and well done.
I think they said audiences found it confusing or the critics found it confusing, idk.
Two other spy movies I - I recently rewatched Sneakers and that movie still holds up...love that movie.
And Spy Game deserves more love.

It was great how they fricked over the TV series by making the main character into a fricking villain.

Emilio Estevez is the winner in this movie.

I always thought it was ok. It was part of a bizarre stretch in the mid 90s where there seemed to be 2 blockbusters with big names and the exact same plot. MI and Eraser, Armageddon and Deep Impact, Outbreak and another “Ebola” movie, Dante’s Peak and another volcano movie

What an incredibly underrated flick. Great great twist on a spy movie and one of the better casts you'll ever see on this ne screen.
The James Earl Jones cameo at the end is spectacular...you had Redford, Poitier, and JEJ in one scene.
I think it was a Phil Alden Robinson (Field of Dreams director) movie. So well done.

Watched this for the first time on Amazon Prime yesterday. It was awesome.
Until this, In The Heat of the Night was the only other Sidney Poitier film I had seen.

Also watch To Sir, With Love...Poitier is great plus its one of the best captures of the real "swinging London" era Austin Powers is based on.
It's not In the Heat of the Night, but nothing else he ever did really compares to that.
Guess who's coming to Dinner is an overrated bore...

This all day long. Haven't watched another MI movie since. Ruined one of my childhood heroes. Jim Phelps as the bad guy was just fricked up.

The scoobie do masks at the end ruined it for me.

A script is floating around and one studio passes then hears another studio picks it up. So they quickly hire someoen to write something similar and tries to get it out before their competitor.
