Mission: Impossible is streaming in New Zealand on Netflix.
What the audience says
Mission: Impossible holds up as a perfectly decent English film, if not a remarkable one. It holds a 7.0/10 on TMDB from 10,316 ratings, well above what most films manage.
Should you spend 1h 51m on it?
1h 51m of English adventure with action threaded through. That score holds across 10,317 ratings, so it's about as safe as this week's list gets.
- Why
- 7.0/10 over 10,317 ratings — solidly liked rather than loved, and the number isn't going to move.

- you want something grounded and small-scale

Story
When Ethan Hunt, the leader of a crack espionage team whose perilous operation has gone awry with no explanation, discovers that a mole has penetrated the CIA, he's surprised to learn that he's the prime suspect. To clear his name, Hunt now must ferret out the real double agent and, in the process, even the score.
