Another take on Mission: Impossible: there's a lot of complaint that Jim Phelps, the main character of the original television show, turns out to be the bad guy here. But I see it as a deconstruction of sorts of IMF's apparent recruitment process: it's actors! Disguise artists and magicians and super models.
The IMF hires a bunch of performance artists! There's always the theory that the movie's "Jim Phelps" was just a disgruntled Dan Briggs in an IMF mask, which makes some amount of sense and is pretty mind-bending in and of itself. And which I may have just made up myself? I don't know; it's been a while.
