Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol
Despite brilliant action sequences, Brad Bird’s live action debut is disappointingly an incoherent and silly mess, which curiously sees Tom Cruise taking a backseat.

Like many of Lars Von Trier’s works, this is a difficult film to sum up in words, but be assured it makes for a profound and haunting cinematic experience.
