Possibly Best In The Franchise So Far...

Rating: 8/10 (3 August 2015)

Just caught this awesome fifth installment in the "Mission Impossible" franchise at the local multi-plex over the weekend, and this seriously rivals the last one- "Ghost Protocal"- as the best in the series so far. I saw a user comment that pointed out that this is possibly the only franchise where each film is better than the last- and I think they may have a point!
Tom Cruise returns as IMF super-agent, Ethan Hunt, this time battling a group of rogue international agents bent on taking over the world. We see Cruise and his group of IMF buddies- Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, Ving Rhames- travel over sea, air, land, etc..- in some of the best action scenes ever filmed. That scene that's been so publicized with Cruise hanging off the edge of the aircraft flying into the sky just scrapes the surface!
Alec Baldwin joins the cast this time around playing a government official attempting to take down the IMF -and agent Hunt!- trying to just melt the group into the regular old CIA. But really what makes this movie is an actress named Rebecca Ferguson!- all I gotta say is WOW! With her on-screen charisma and moves, she is quite possibly the best action heroine I've ever seen in any movie!- and this is coming from a guy who generally doesn't like women in action roles! She gives Hunt a run for the money, and really, if the two of them had to battle it out, I think she could take him..?? LOL BIG THUMBS UP for her and this movie- this is what summer big budget movies are all about!
