Surprisingly Entertaining for a 5th Movie in the Series

Rating: 8/10 (3 August 2015)

For a 5th movie in a series, I was surprised it was still entertaining to watch. I'm not going to lie, I have not kept up over the years or watched every single movie in this series.
I like the team and cast. I enjoyed the action and the humor. My only bone to pick is how many times the character Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson) failed her mission but SOMEHOW the villain that was supposed to be Ethan's intellectual match, let her live. This dude is supposed to be the MOST intelligent, intimidating and scary villain. Sean Harris as Solomon Lane did just fine with the acting, it's just the plot let a pretty face fool him not once but 3 times! Then Faust attacked her fellow villain mates off their motor cycles, increasing their suspicion.
Spoiler* She came back with a highly important data disc that was wiped out and completely deleted. If this were "real" she would have been shot on the spot after failing 2 times previously. (1.Helping him escape in the beginning and 2. the opera show)
Lane kept saying she had so much potential as his motive for not shooting her and moving on but her "potential" doesn't make up for all her mistakes.
Also if Ethan (Tom Cruise) is supposed to be such a hot-shots spy, why did this chick have to rescue him like 3 times??? The water scene, he dodged getting hit the first time then got hit by the same machine part he previously dodged.
