I tried to give a chance to this film on 3 different occasions.
Unfortunately, this movie is so bad that it is impossible to focus on what's going on because watching insects fly by your TV screen is more captivating.
The idea of Tom Cruise hanging by a rope not being supposed to touch the ground or the walls was definitely lifted from "The Treasure Of Four Crowns" (1982) and there's nothing less plausible than a helicopter in a tunnel anyway...
All in all, this is just another bad movie by very over-rated (yet eclectic) director Brian De Palma whose most successful films had mainly a good story (that he rarely wrote). "Mission: Impossible" is the ultimate proof that a movie is worthless without a good story, no matter how famous the director is.
How Emmanuelle Beart wasted her time and talent being a part of this money-hungry production is still a mystery to me.
