Flashback Friday: Mission Impossible

In the 1990s, turning Boomer television shows into movies to satiate nostalgia was the standard. What made Mission Impossible different was that Brian De Palma was brought in as director. De Palma was a well-established director responsible for helming films like Carrie, Blow Out, Scarface, The Untouchables, and more. He brought some gravitas to the picture while still being a director who wasn’t considered an art-house filmmaker. That was a smart move because De Palma exercises restraint throughout MI. This is a sharp, tightly written & directed spy thriller that stands up today because of how much they held back.Sponsors:Good Ranchers: http://www.cinema-gold.com/goodranchersAudible: Free Audio Book - www.audibletrial.com/larry21Paramount+: https://paramountplus.qflm.net/c/2653816/1378116/3065Follow Us on Social Media:Twitter: www.twitter.com/cinemagoldshowIG: https://www.instagram.com/thecinemagoldshow/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cinemagoldshowJoin Our Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/CinemaGoldShow/If you enjoy the show, consider becoming a financial supporter.
