Review: 'Mission: Impossible' Season 6

26 April 2009 11:20 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

The concept behind Mission: Impossible had never been attempted on television before and the CBS series about a covert government operation taking on; well, impossible, cases became a smash hit.  Guided by the steady Peter Graves, Greg Morris and Peter Lupis, the series received awards, acclaim and most importantly, ratings.  Early on, the show was also headlined by Martin Landau and Barbara Bain, but they left after three seasons. In stepped Leonard Nimoy, Lesley Ann Warren, and Sam Elliot for the next two seasons but by spring 1971, the show was beginning to feel tired.

Season six, airing 1971-1972,  was the season that should not have been. Paramount Pictures wanted the show canceled and placed into profitable reruns but CBS saw ratings upticks at the end of season five and wanted the series back. Nimoy wanted out, saying he was bored.  It was time to change everything up.

The penultimate season, »

"Brothers at War"

While his very premise negates a documentarian's objectivity, filmmaker Jake Rademacher brings an intimacy and affection to his feature debut, a handheld portrait of his two brothers serving in Iraq. Shot first-hand while embedded with his brothers' units in the field, Rademacher seeks to better understand their actions and motivations as they patrol along the Syrian border. Putting the larger political issues aside, the film focuses on the men and women who fight, the families back home who wait, and the unique bond that ties and holds them all together.

Opens in limited release.
