Silly, but has a bit more action than most

The 80s Missions Impossible liked to use a variety of locations. This is interesting, for a show shot in Australia. In this case, the IMF team tackled arms dealing and the problems in Ireland.

There are some fun things in this episode. There's a lot of hammy work from the cast, trying to sound like they're Irish. There's a great, long fight between Max and Grant.

The actual plot isn't too great, but they get to use some special effects, which still look silly, in an effort to convince someone that the banshee has come to haunt someone for his role in killing a bus of senior citizens.

Of course, it also ends with a feel-good sequence, where the leaders of the warring factions start to understand each other, and decide to get along.

Is it good? Not exactly, but at least it doesn't take itself too seriously.
