Before they became the heroic, inseparable duo of the Mission: Impossible franchise, producer-star Tom Cruise and writer-director Christopher McQuarrie collaborated on this invigorating action thriller in which Cruise headlines as a taciturn, ex-U.S. Army major and Military Police Corps investigator.

Hollywood self-parodies are a dime a dozen, but Ben Stiller’s pleasingly tasteless takedown of the industry—from egomaniacal actors to grotesque producers to the clichéd big-budget products themselves—is a riotous pleasure throughout.
