he works so hard

Rating: 10/10 (6 August 2015)

I have only experienced one TC film I did not enjoy and I am not even able to remember the title but he played an ageing Rock star brilliantly but I just didn't find it entertaining. Now I've got that out of the way, I must agree with one or two other reviewers in saying this may be the best MI film yet. Two things did it for me. I am a hugh opera fan and I found the whole sequence in the Viena Opera house absolutely riviting with the wonderful music acting as a perfect background to the unbelievable action .My other stand out aspect was the location filming in London which appeared utterly authentic to me and I thank TC for his loyalty to uk fans in setting so much of the climactic drama in the UK capital. brilliant. Every other aspect of the film was what I would call total action entertainment. Yes of course it falls into the category of a total suspension of disbelief but isn't that why we go to the cinema to suspend reality. I guess the most important ingredient is the man himself, he clearly works so hard to get it right and in the true Hollywood tradition of Errol Flyn et al he is a star and has made this 'boys own' daring do' genre all his own almost without rival. I will continue to attend TC films without too much concern as to whether or not I will enjoy them as his record is almost flawless!
