Tom Cruise unleashed

Rating: 8/10 (24 June 2019)

As Barney Stinson said the fourth movie of the Mission Impossible series is the best. For me it's great but not perfect, breathtaking but not stellar, terrific but not ideal. The level of dedication to the franchise is unbelievable though.
Well, you might say that I have given a very disturbing description. What is wrong with me? To justify such a vague talk I would say that many moments despite their fantastic implementation left holes in the plot that I had a brief moment of confusion, however, everything disappeared with a gasp coming out of my mouth.
Tom Cruise brings the film to the whole new level with the stunts - showing off his unhuman capabilities in real life while deciding to shoot the unspeakable scenes as close to reality as possible; with the plot creators push the threat to the point where Ethan Hunt just cannot miss. It sounds cool but as always, the Achilles' heel of a franchise is a simple chance - many things just pop up by themselves, and considering that Simon Pegg is from Britain one might think that a sneaky leprechaun made his way from Ireland to boost the team's luck.
Admiring the feats of cast and creators to bring the viewer the never seen before experience I would honestly say that they succeed every time. Still shaking off the intensity of several scenes in the movie that show the perfect atmosphere building and now I am extremely eager to see what waits for Ethan Hunt around the next corner.
