Great action, but square Pegg and an anomaly in the creaky script.

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2020)

Overall some great scenes and exciting action. But Simon Pegg didn't work in this and was an awkward distraction rather than a smoothly integral part of the film. At times it was veering toward Clouseau. He is a great writer and comedian, but not a plausible Mission Impossible character, especially so when, or so it appeared, he was directed to try to throw in a bit of Ricky Gervais into his performance. I hope Simon Pegg does lots more fabulous comedy in other films, but that his character meets a swift and tragic end in MI.
Also, the ending did not make sense as it was completely at odds to something we were told earlier.
