"The possibility of recognizing and relishing such moments, and of appreciating the unique visual power of film, is at risk in a culture saturated with cheap, flashy, corrupting images, few of them worthy of a second look." - A.O. Scott
O próprio De Palma falando de alguns de seus filmes, recentemente:
"The problem with the Mission: Impossibles is they've been copied so much on television now. And then in the third one, where you have a television director [J.J. Abrams] directing it, you're going to get a long episode of 24." - Brian De Palma
