Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation

This is the best movie put of all of the , the acting, the, the action, thi image and most of all the plot, i can never get sick of this movei, and i recomend this movie.

Nothing too impossible for Tom Cruise. Great movie.

What can anyone add to the host of reviews. This one for me was a solid if not electrifying instalment in a reliable series.To prep for this episode, my son and I had an MI binge, 1 to 4. 1 is a bit dated, 2 begins the rise to greatness. Then 3 and 4 (Ghost Protocol) hit their stride beautifully, great action, fast pace, brilliant stunts.It may be that MI has simply played all the available tricks, or raised its own bar too high, but while there is production, budget and SFX aplenty, and the big set-pieces are on a serious scale, there is a little core of something missing. I enjoyed it, but wasn't swept along in the same way as the previous instalments.MI 5 is like sleeping with an ugly person - it's miles better than sleeping alone but you still wish for just a little more from the experience.

Always good to see Tom in the franchiseThanks

If the home run of Ghost Protocol got the series back on track, then Rogue Nation unquestionably smashes it out of the park.The film starts with the tent-pole stunt from the movie poster where Ethan Hunt has, to say the least, a tricky time boarding a cargo plane of stolen warheads. (It’s hard to find the right superlatives as we know the stunt was done for real, with minimal CGI, by Cruise – so I won't even try). Anyway, it turns out that Hunt had just thwarted The Syndicate, who we eventually learn is a shadowy organisation aiming to set up its own rogue nation, one with absolute power to shape world events for its own ends. The Syndicate promptly captures Hunt in London, but before they get chance to go to work on him he escapes their torture cell, on barefoot (a nice reference to Ghost Protocol) thanks to some insider-assistance. Meanwhile, CIA boss Alec Baldwin is busily disavowing the IMF and has put a capture or kill order out on Hunt, as if he didn’t have enough problems. And all this in the first 20 minutes!The film then rockets around the world to its 3 main acts. First to Austria where Hunt hooks up with Simon Pegg’s Benji to try and block an assassination attempt on the Austrian Chancellor during a grand opera performance of Puccini’s Turandot. A terrific sequence where director Christopher McQuarrie openly homages ‘The Man Who Knew Too Much’ (one of a few nods to Hitchcock) as Hunt desperately attempts to save the chancellor from, count them, 3 snipers before the crashing orchestra reaches the final note of Nessun Dorma.The expanding but still off the grid IMF team then nip over to Morocco, as Hunt breaks into and hacks another impregnable mainframe (this one under water!), dies, gets defibrillated back to life, hops on a superbike and has one of the best motorbike chases I've ever seen on the silver screen; completely exorcising the now slightly maligned stunt bike work in MI:2.When we move back to London for part 3 there’s a bit of time to get our breath back, but not much, as Cruise & co track ever so closer to the mysterious Syndicate leader. In this final act McQuarrie eschews the all-out frenetics of the previous 90 minutes in favour of mind games and double-bluffs, dark streets and foot chases and yes, masks – and a classic Mission Impossible TV series inspired denouement.There is so much to praise in MI:5. It unashamedly throws the OTT stunts at you but it doesn’t forget that at heart it’s a spy movie – in fact take the stunts away and you’re still left with a cracking yarn of double dealings, murders, evasions and good old fashioned secret-snatching. And I love the throwbacks and retro references – red public telephone boxes, a scene in a second-hand vinyl record shop and film-noir back streets that could almost be filmed in black and white.But we wouldn’t care for any of this without the characters. Cruise is as engaging as ever and holds the whole film together; Pegg again plays the everyman comedy relief he does so well; Alec Baldwin is in domineering Glengarry Glen Ross form, and Jeremy Renner and Ving Rhames are as good as they can be in very much supporting roles, though Rhames feels a little under used as you find yourself wanting him to hit his pivotal heights of MI:1. Sean Harris, the film's central antagonist menaces pretty effectively in the few scenes he’s in (albeit bordering on pantomime villain), but the wow factor has to go to Rebecca Ferguson as the sassy and decidedly lethal, duplicitous operative whose side you’re never quite sure she's on.It’s hard to say whether or not this is the best entry so far, and everyone will have a different opinion. I personally still love MI:1 (helicopter in the Channel Tunnel notwithstanding) and whether Rogue Nation stands the test of time and repeat viewings remains to be seen, so for now there’s no need to compare – just enjoy.

It continues the format of the preceding series which involves breathtaking action scenes and death-defying stunt work. PARENTS MAY WISH TO KNOW that there are scenes of violence, namely stabbing, hand-to-hand combat, shooting and explosions. As in all of the M:I movies, these scenes are choreographed in a way that is not natural in order to create an artistic effect, and is relatively bloodless. There is infrequent mild swearing, and flirting seems to be the only sexual content in this movie.As you can see, I have not included any spoilers in this review.PLEASE NOTE: This film is very exhilarating - don't forget to breathe while you're watching it!!!

Watched this as wanted to remind myself of previous films before I went to the cinema to watch more recent offering. In my opinion, the Mission Impossible films are well worth a watch - great movie. Wood recommend.

Hardly any story but loads of action
