Best in the series

Rating: 9/10 (2 August 2015)

Usually, when a franchise reaches its fifth installment without being a part of some grander over arching plot, said franchise has overstayed its welcome. But not in the case of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation. As the fifth movie of the franchise, Rogue Nation still manages to bring a fresh take with a more sinister villain, and surprising questions about ethics in field where ethics is a foreign concept. There are also neat little plot twist moments which keeps you on your toes and keeps the narrative from rehashing earlier movies. The action scenes in this movie are a wonderful mix of hilarity, audacity and brutality. When watching it, you know it's highly improbable, but who cares? It's great fun.
