A contemporary and vibrant-yet a hotbed for hostility - version of it, anyway.Īs this is a manhunt-slash-vengeance run, flying bullets and falling bodies, or vice versa, are expected.

Despite having Tom Cruise and the M:I brand, none of the two was necessarily-or even was-why print dailies, online outlets, Yahoo! 360° pages and personal Y!M windows were fired up for the film. The Protégé ignites a need to relive the summer of 2006 in Vietnam, when the third Mission: Impossible was released.
