Good Episode

The last season of MI episodes were pretty formulaic. Foreign dictators, mob bosses, gambling outfits, etc. What stood out in this episode is that it's shot in San Francisco. The problem with MI throughout it's run is they tried to convince the viewers that LA was a foreign country or another city. It was great to see them do an honest to goodness location shoot! The bike scenes flying around the city were somewhat reminiscent of Bullitt. I was born and raised just north of SF in Marin. It's always a pleasure to see my beloved city across the bridge in movies an TV from the early 70's. How far the city has fallen since then. Anyway, the episode is fast paced and entertaining. Definitely worth a watch.
