The fifth installment in this franchise is the best one yet, with a compelling plot, a Bond-esque super villain, and the intense action set pieces that Cruise does better than anyone.

A franchise that gets better with each installment, this was great, the set pieces were brilliant, and the team know exactly what works now, The Cruiser for me is the Postman, he always delivers!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you okay to drive? A minute ago you were dead." Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation is still as amazing as the first time I saw it. From Tom Cruise hanging on a airplane to the way they trap Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) at the end, you'll realize that you have been watching another Mission: Impossible sequel for about 135 minutes. I'm still at awe how it is even possible for a franchise to get better with each installment. The ingredient here is the role of Ilsa Faust played brilliantly by Rebecca Ferguson. She's the young indestructible Ethan Hunt. While Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is getting older, might even be a step slower and more vulnerable then he ever was. Which is a good thing. What also helps is that in every damn sequel they get the big set pieces right. The opera scene in Vienna? Awesome. The chase scene in Casablanca? Brilliant. The opening stunt? Epic. And yet again, the cast is getting better too. Simon Pegg stepping up and is so lovable as Benji, Jeremy Renner being the funny guy was a great move (so sad he couldn't be part of the next installment), seeing Ving Rhames as Luther never disappoints and adding Alec Balwin? Brilliant! Anyway they even amped up the spy stuff! Loved the story in this one too. Christopher McQuarrie was a great choice to direct this and I am so happy he is returning for part 7! And man, that tune never gets old! Lovely rewatch!

I was a bit harsh on this one last time, and I have to say I enjoyed this film quite a lot more than 2015 me seemed to. It’s solid all round and I thought the plot was pretty compelling so god knows what I was banging on about. I also neglected to mention that I am deeply in love with Rebecca Ferguson but alas my somewhat downbeat review of Mission Impossible V has probably turned her off. Still Rebecca, if you’re reading, my wife says it’s ok. http://benoliver999.com/film/2017/05/20/missionimpossibleroguenation/

I've really enjoyed this franchise so far (other than one less than stellar film) and damn, this film carries everything on. Honestly, one of the main reasons I love the franchise is probably because they are so similar to the 007 franchise. Instead, these are a bit more light with jokes and, obviously, American. Except they spend some time in the UK this time. Anyway, yea, about this specific film. Great action. I mean look at this photo because it was awesome. Specifically though, the car/motorcycle race in here is just so engaging and fun. I've got to say, Tom Cruise might be crazy, but he is a great action star.
