Ethan Hunt never lets up!

Rating: 7/10 (21 August 2015)

Tight script, glamorous action sequences, superb screen play, with no "yawning or let-me-check-my-messages moments," this movie is worth every second spent watching it. What makes this movie more special is the way it brings you on the edge of your seat despite the lack of as much action as an MI movie usually has. Team IMF never disappoints carrying out unimaginable operations successfully, for they've got Hunt, and as described by the CIA director Alan Hunley to the prime minister of The Great Britain, "Ethan Hunt is the living manifestation of destiny." Christopher has done a pretty decent job. Having worked on quite a few projects with Cruise already surely would've been an advantage. Rebecca Ferguson as an MI6 agent----blowing punches, jabs and barbs that can sting your face leaving you nowhere to hide----is delightful to watch. Her chemistry with Cruise goes very well, she's the best ever opposite Ethan Hunt. I would like to praise the movie's screenplay again, for a good screenplay acts like icing on a luscious cake. And why wouldn't the screenplay be superb, McQuarrie's screenplay won him an Oscar for The Usual Suspects. Tom Cruise at 53 does his job as an "skilled-at-pulling-off-the- improbable" IMF agent like no one else can. Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Alec Baldwin, all did their job well. Another good thing to notice in MI movies' action sequences is those little mistakes or goof-ups or call them whatever you want that always tend to keep the team IMF from pulling off the tasks as they planned, and the team still making through it. Hunt failing to unlock the handcuffs but still pushing his way up to the top of the pole and freeing himself or making it through the secure underwater server beneath a power station even after running completely out of oxygen. These are the things that make your movie watching experience extremely thrilling. The bike chase scene post the smashing of the biker gang by a groggy Hunt in the BMW, doesn't let you let out your breath until the end of the chase. Rogue Nation to me is the best MI movie till date.
