    Box Office Knock Out

    12/23/2011 – Tom Cruise Reaches New Heights in ‘Ghost Protocol’

    Plenty of actors like to brag about doing their own stunts, but there's a difference between pretending to take punch and stepping out the window of the tallest building in the world.

    When you see superspy Ethan Hunt climb up the side of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol," there's no mistaking that it's actually Tom Cruise scaling the sheer glass face of the skyscraper.  To find out how Cruise prepared to hang out 130 stories above the ground and see how high his fourth "Mission" will climb in the holiday weekend ranks, watch this episode of "Box Office Knock Out."

      Is he wearing Capri pants on the side of that building? Not a good look.

      Sick of the same "wanna prove I'm still young" movie stunts from Tom Cruise. The guy can't seem to do a movie without hanging from strings, jumping off trains, or climbing buildings. It's getting old and so is he. Yawn, is my take on this "same old s*hit movie".

        Have you ever seen "TROPIC THUNDER--THE COLOR OF MONEY--BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY" AND 10 MOVIE GREAT MOVIES THIS GUY HAS DONE!!
      • Lynn 4 months ago
        Yes I have many of them. What I am saying is I am tired of all his "latest" movies which are the same old thing. He needs to try something fresh.

      Awesome movie!!! I had to spread the word out on facebook that this is the must see movie of this year and next year. Loved it from beginning to the end. I will be adding this movie to my movie collection once it comes out on dvd. Kudos to all that made Mission Impossible- possible. Thanks.

      can someone please tell me why there are no critic's reviews on the new movies being released lately? I checked all the movies opening this weekend and last weekend and they say 'none available'

      Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol....Best Frigging Movie of the Year!!!! just saw this and Cruise is awesome, The cast was superlative ,the story tight just the way I like it, and the stunts are unbelievably mindboggling! I was literally tearing at the arms of my theatre seat.
      This is one that I wont begrudge BluRay price.

        Great action movie!!! But not a great movie or the best of the year!!! "DRIVE" "WARRIOR" "THE HELP" 'MONEYBALL" "WAR HORSE" "A GIRL WITH A DRAGON TATTOO"
    • jughead  •  4 months ago
      I have to say MI:1 is the best , MI:4 is 2nd to it, the rest is #$%$ Less action scenes' better for MI franchise, hope they go with the right path.

      Good entertainment value from start to finish. Cant wait for the blu ray format. Hoping for lots of special features, love to have interviews with all cast, publicity campaign, dont forget the trailers n tv spots.

      Great movie ... excellent plot (makes sense) ... gGreat action, stunts, car chases ... great acting by everyone ... I recommend it !!!
    • A Yahoo! User  •  Atlanta, Georgia  •  4 months ago
      "MIA 4" great action movie and adding Jermey Renner, who was outstanding {again} that was a great move. I don't gave a Dam about "Cruise's personal life or choices. But if you think this guy can't acted you're the nut Job!! Rainman--The Color Of Money--A Few Good Men--Born On The Fourth Of July--The Last Sumurai--Tropic Thunder!!!!!!! And many other films as well.

      I didn't care that much about him, but after watching his performance in this movie, I think I'll have to like Tom Cruise all over again.

        BIG MOUTH LOSER WOULD BE "LARRY"

      Cruise sucks! It's a Scientologic fact.
      • Fatchance 4 months ago
        Judging someone for their decision to practice a different religion than you is pure idiocy. I don't think it's Tom Cruise who sucks but the individual making such a stupid comment.
      • Larry N 4 months ago
        I'm not judging him for practicing a different religion-It's just that he Sucks! And since when is Scientology a religion? There are folks that practice Voodoo, is that a religion. LMAO!

        And if you are a Cruise fan, you are either a female or Gay.

      Not a Mission Impossible fan, the first one was boring but this one "ghost protocol" was great, non stop action, I liked the story and the actors meshed really good together. Fun to watch all the way to the end. Great job!
