Pre-fabricated, unintelligent, UN - suspenseful "actionfilm"

Rating: 2/10 (27 November 2015)

Now this is a stupid movie!.
First of all. The first 10 minutes of the film doesn't make any sense. There's a guy with some grass on his head trying to communicate something "The plane must be stopped!" Is it really supposed to be funny? Is it a parody? Renner looks like they stripped of his Robin Hood- costume from "The Avengers" and then somebody gave him an Armani suit and some indifferent lines. Then Mr. Hunt shows up or Mr. Huntly!!!! as he is later called. There's was no suspense in this scene at all. It was just a stupid stunt and some "funny" lines as to which door the guy with the grass on his head should open so that Huntly could get into the plane and stop the bad guys!!!
And the rest of the movie was just a descent into more and more UN - suspenseful scenes, and then some people in a room in Armani-suits talking about NOTHING! and then another boring "action"-sequence.
The actors in this movie looked and acted like they were in a car-commercial. Actually the best actor in this film was the guy with grass on his head, a least he tried.
Tom - hollow-man - Cruise was just so uninspired in his acting. Once he was actually a descent actor in movies like "Born on the fourth of July", "the color of money", "Magnolia", "Interview with a Vampire" etc, but the last many years he has just become more and more uninteresting and boring. There is no surprises or edges to his acting anymore. It feels like he has studied the scene in his head and maybe in front of the mirror and then when he the next day are going to perform the scene; he does precisely the same as he did the night before in his hotel. Every hand gesture, look, breath is studied, therefor there is no room for surprises, hence, as Homer would say; BOOOORING.
Alec Baldwin looks like he can't wait to finish his scenes and honestly he is given nothing to work with: "Let's find Hunt!" - "Where is Hunt?" - "Have you found Hunt?".
Brian De Palma made a serious and very suspenseful film with the first "Mission Impossible". Measured, intelligent with a few very good surprises (as there should be in these kind of films. Cruise was perfectly cast as the cocky and naive hero and the rest of the cast was supporting him and the story very well.
Then came in John slow-mo Woo and made an deliciously looking but stupid action film.
Abrahams made an OK action film in number 3.
Number 4 and 5 is an insult to an audience. Maybe some 8-9 year old will find it entertaining (I DOUBT IT) but I am not kidding when I am saying that we all would be better off without MI4 and especially MI5 which crosses every line of idiotic and is quite simply put not a film but a collection of commercial - like scenes which involves people looking stupid into the distance, some running, swimming, shooting etc. All of them totally drained of any suspense!
You want ACTION AND SUSPENSE see "MAD MAX : FURY ROAD"
If you want a noisy sleeping - pill watch MI5
This message will not self - destruct in 10 seconds but hopefully the MI - franchise will!!
