If you were
a fan of the original TV series, Mission: Impossible (1966-1973), you
were definitely interested when Paramount announced it was bringing the story
to the big screen. You might have been drawn in for its star Tom Cruise, or the
script by Robert Towne, or the direction by Briana DePalma, but this was a film
designed to put people in seats. But if you were a fan of the original series,
you might have qualms with the adaptation.
