Regrouping with Carter and Dunn, Brandt is able to identify Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks, a -born Russian nuclear strategist, who seeks to start a between the U.S.

Hendricks used the Kremlin bombing to cover up his theft of a Russian launch-control device, and now is planning a trade with Moreau at the in to gain the required launch codes.The team travels to Dubai. On the 119th floor of the hotel, they create deceptions using their various gadgetry and disguises to make Moreau believe she is meeting with Hendricks, and vice versa, when in fact they are interacting with the IMF team.

Owen Gleiberman of opined that the movie 'brims with scenes that are exciting and amazing at the same time; they're brought off with such casual aplomb that they're funny, too. Ghost Protocol is fast and explosive, but it's also a supremely clever sleight-of-hand thriller.

Brad Bird, the animation wizard. Showing an animator's miraculously precise use of visual space, has a playful, screw-tightening ingenuity all his own.' Roger Moore of gave the film three out of four stars; said 'Brad Bird passes his audition for a career as a live-action director. And Ghost Protocol more than makes its bones as an argument for why Tom Cruise should continue in this role as long as his knees, and his nerves, hold up.'

When agreed to direct the movie, he asked for the screenplay, and Abrams would be reluctant to show it to him, saying that Bird would have a lot of freedom in doing the scenes. After Bird finally asked Abrams for real for the screenplay, the producer admitted that they had several drafts, but nothing definitive at that point, and that Bird should take that opportunity to give as much input as he wanted. According to Bird, the script went through major changes even after the start of production. For instance, during the scene in the van after Ethan's escape from prison, the team was originally unaware of the situation and unsure how to proceed, which Bird blamed on the fact that even he did not have an overview of the plot. This was later re-shot when the direction of the plot became clear.

The original scene can be viewed as a deleted scene on the Blu-ray edition.
