From the very beginning, the film enters a world of spies where the identities of the characters are all mysteries. The audience has not had time to think about it, and one climax after another ensues. Three of them are particularly exciting: when the protagonist escapes from a trendy cafe in Prague, he smashes the huge fish tank, which is not only unique but also symbolic (he falls into an ocean world where big fish eat small fish); the protagonist sneaks back The plot of the CIA stealing documents has become a classic; the last climax of the film is that he is lying on the top of the train, with a tunnel in front and a helicopter chasing after him. It is entirely a visual roller coaster effect. The second episode in 2000 was directed by Wu Yusen, with a typical Wu style, exaggerated and poetic; the plot moved to Australia, and the clues were far less complicated than the first episode. The line of love is still the weak link. ()
Rhythmic montage processing, tracking long shots, "top shot" visual effects and other elements give "Mission Impossible" a strong personal style of De Palma, with ingenious plot, meticulous layout, and superb suspense design It is breathtaking, especially the "dance" in which Ethan Hunt sneaked into the CIA headquarters and parachuted to steal the list of agents, pushing the director's own effort to construct dramatic tension to the extreme.
