Tom Cruise is absolutely insane.

Rating: 9/10 (12 January 2019)

Brad bird is one of my favourite directors for good reason. This film is directed near perfectly the scenes were performed well, the pacing was consistent and the tension was there throughout the movie. Tom Cruise's performance was quite good and I respect him for climbing the Burj Khalifa - the tension in that scene was all the better for it even though I knew he would survive the sequence.
The visual style was a bit blande and there were a few spy movie cliches mixed in though, but at the end of the day it doesn't affect the story too much.
Overall this film is well worth a watch and the scenes with tension will have you grabbing your seat.
