“Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation” is easily the best action film of the summer with relentless pacing, a charismatic cast, and spectacular stunts galore that will keep you happily glued to your seat. Well, for Tinmouth it was a surreal experience, but Cruise was a dab hand on the BMW S1000RR that they rode in the movie, and she still can’t believe her luck. Somehow, the movies have managed to sustain a considerable amount of fun, which helps to hold viewers’ interests.
Who would win in a fight between the Impossible Missions Force’s Ethan Hunt and MI6’s James Bond? If there’s anything that deserves an extra amount of praise it’s the action. Rotten Tomatoes praises Tom Cruise in his role as lead actor and anchor for the long-running franchise, saying “Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation continues the franchise’s thrilling resurgence – and proves that Tom Cruise remains an action star without equal”.
Tom Cruise has been asked to play “Fuck, Marry, Kill” with three of his most iconic film characters. Hunt is off hunting a terrorist organization called The Syndicate, alone until he can recruit his familiar pals. Ferguson is a welcomed addition to this series.
But the in-between is spiced up enough with a Bondesque jaunt around the world, a nail-biting motorcycle race, and a wonderful cameo from Tom Hollander (if only he were the British Prime Minister, I’d move back and vote Tory). The “Mission: Impossible” movies don’t always feature the most compelling villain. The daredevil action sequences are insane, and virtually all of them are real – including the most outlandish thing writer/director Chris McQuarrie could imagine. Unfortunately, he is captured by syndicate leader Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) who does not hesitate to eliminate the innocent. He tries so hard for chilly stoicism, that he just seems to stare blankly in the frame.

Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation isn’t as amusing as Mission: Impossible-Ghost Protocol, but wow the stunts in this film are sick.
