Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Operation Rogosz (oh-come on, he's supposed to be Hungarian-spell it right!) was the fourth episode of Mission Impossible, and in my opinion, it was the one that made the series what it became. In the first season, there were still a lot of "action" scenes, shoot-outs, car chases and fist fights, but this episode doesn't have any of that, which is why it is so good. MI, at its best is all about psyching the enemy out and brain is more important than brawn. Fritz Weaver puts in a great performance as the consummately evil Imre Rogosz. Combining this with a very impressive job of directing by Leonard Horn and some very special camera work, we see a very intense and exciting story. One thing that is different about this episode from later ones in the series is that we see light-hearted banter between the members of the IM Force. It was apparently believed by the later writers that this might detract from the tension of the story, but on the other hand, it makes the members of the IMF more "human" and believable. I leave it to the viewer to decide which is a better approach.
One other factor that makes the story so compelling is that it is about bacteriological warfare, a subject that is unfortunately very relevant today. Get this video and see the good guys win.
