Nothing New Here But Mission Impossible Rogue Nation Surely Entertains

Rating: 4/10 (22 February 2016)

Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation should have been the last movie of the franchise with Tom Cruise.Apparently,the people flocked the theaters world-wide and the movie earned more than $600 million.That is why the producers made announced another Mission Impossible film would be made involving Cruise.
The film is a spy thriller that stars Cruise together with Jeremy Renner,Simon Pegg,Rebecca Ferguson,Ving Rhames,Sean Harris and Alec Baldwin.The fifth movie of the franchise written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie that was filmed in Vienna,Austria tells the story about the Impossible Mission Force or IMF that is now against a group of terrorists known as the Syndicate.This group is determined in creating a new world order whose existence is denied by the Central Intelligence Agency or the CIA.Ethan Hunt gathers his team together with disavowed British agent Ilsa Faust in order to prove their existence.
Despite the fact that there is probably nothing really new in the elements provided in this 5th Mission Impossible film especially to those who have seen all films of the franchise,the story was well- told in the sense that there is excitement and entertainment from start to finish.We get to see the MI team headed by Ethan Hunt go invincible by getting dismantled.They work undercover to get to know the activities of the Syndicate.After gathering lots of evidence about their existence;they suppress their activities and capture the so-called group;and finally the IMF Force re-groups back together again.Things were interesting as the action moves from Vienna to Morocco and then to London.
The stunts involving airplanes, motorcycles, cars, water and turbines and flying glass will definitely please many action film lovers.In addition to that,the performances from Tom Cruise and Rebecca Ferguson will definitely please their fans despite having soulless characters in the film.Their fans will definitely look forward to the sixth installment of the franchise.
But if you want better Mission Impossible, watch the original series and the revival series for they are a lot better despite being outdated in technology for it promotes team work compared to Tom Cruise MI franchise that promotes primarily Ethan Hunt alone.
