Rating: 9/10 (7 August 2015)

The fifth installment in the Mission: Impossible series, 'Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation' is a Terrific entry to a spell-binding franchise. Its unabashed, unapologetic entertainment! Grab a huge tub of popcorn & ENJOY!
'Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation' Synopsis: Ethan and team take on their most impossible mission yet, eradicating the Syndicate - an International rogue organization as highly skilled as they are, committed to destroying the IMF.
'Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation' left me awed. I was mesmerized by the film's fast-moving pace, the extraordinary action-sequences & the consistently crisp narrative. Ethan Hunt doesn't fail to deliver, despite the protagonist coming back on-screen for the fifth time. The story is meaty & Writer-Director Christopher McQuarrie's Screenplay is relentlessly engaging. The twists & turns are interesting, while the action is the highpoint of the enterprise. McQuarrie's Direction is stylish. Robert Elswit's Cinematography captures the stunning locales, beautifully. Eddie Hamilton's Editing is razor-sharp. Joe Kraemer's Score is first-class.
Performance-Wise: Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt & he delivers a strong central performance. At 53, the Superstar still appears unstoppable! Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg & Ving Rhames reprise their parts & they are perfect, yet again! Rebecca Ferguson is tough & hot. Alec Baldwin is first-rate. Sean Harris as the chief villain, is nicely menacing.
On the whole, 'Mission Impossible - Rogue Nation' is a complete winner. Two Thumbs Up!
