Stylish and definitely better than other similar movies

Rating: 8/10 (19 November 2015)

I have determined to watch all the Mission-movies: characters are elaborated, performances are at least good, the script is frisky, the venues are diverse and action scenes do not create blah! feelings... Of course, there are lots of references to many more famous movies, including the James Bond ones, but I like that the attitude/mood is non-serious, not "bulked out", even in respectable or posh places. And inclusion of formerly locally known character actors, e.g. Michael Nyqvist, Anil Kapoor and Vladimir Mashkov, and places, e.g. Budapest (as I visited this beautiful city recently, I was eager to see how many places I visited were available in this movie), Mumbai, Moscow, Dubai, provides the movie with broader background, bringing the viewers away from narrow despondency; true, were did not see much of surroundings or panoramas as operations took places in the buildings and chases were too fast.
And - last but not least - all the cast is great again, even smaller parts are played by non-random performers. Here, unlike in the most recent Mission, Tom Cruise was not yet overshadowed by Simon Pegg, as his funny side and "nerdiness" was included not so often.
