To understand the success of Ghost Protocol , one must understand the context of its release. The Mission: Impossible series had, up to that point, been a vehicle solely for Tom Cruise. The first film was a paranoid thriller; the second was a John Woo slow-motion fever dream; the third was a gritty personal vendetta story. They were "Tom Cruise movies" first and ensemble pieces second.
Let’s not forget the context of 2011. Tom Cruise’s public image was at a low point following the couch-jumping incident and various studio shake-ups. Knight and Day had underperformed. Many critics wrote off MI:IV as another tired sequel.
