Misssion Impossible: Ghost Protocol & Girl with Dragon Tattoo

MI4 aka Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (7/10) is quite good. Good to see Tom Cruise back, good to see him in action,, good to see him in style.. so, it's basically his movie & he has doen very well. The movie is about Nuclear launch control device & codes have gone missing and Ethan has to track them down & stop them . The chase takes him to Kremlin, Dubai & India (where you see Anil kapur in his famed hollywood stint for almost 100-200 seconds, dancing around like a charming cobra, as an Indian biliionaire business tycoon should be.. also, somehow you see lot of tamil/telugu script written on sign boards all over in Mumbai, India). Movie is exciting & fun, performances are good.. especially by Simon Pegg & Jeremy Renner (this guy is really good). Great action & great fun what you expect from MI!!
The Girl with Dragon Tattoo (7/10) is exciting in some ways, interseting in other ways, vulgar & gory in some sense & maybe disappointing in others.. Great job by Rooney Mara as the dragon tattoo girl, the investigator & all that. Others are good too & the movie is captivating is ome senses. The portrayal of woman abuse is very clear message in story & comes across appropriately. I think I would like to watch th eother two upcoming movies of the Millenium Series..
