The best one so far?

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2015)

In the last 10 years, I have sit through 4 of the Mission Impossible films and I loved them. Growing up Tom Cruise was The MI guy for me, that's how I knew him before anything else. So when MI:5 was announced I was very excited and I wanted to go back to all of them starting from MI: Ghost Protocol but doing that I realized that these movies were not memorable. I mean, I remembered how they made me feel but I hardly remembered any specifics about the movies. The other crazy thing was that some of them - MI:2 & MI:1 - didn't really hold up, that's when I started to get a bit worried about Rogue Nation.
The storyline did little to subside my worries but I was mostly in, and what a surprise it was. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, is mind-blowing, action packed, and gripping to the end. It managed to make me reevaluating the situation the whole way through. Nothing was exactly as they seemed or as I predicted, no matter how small it was there was always some details that I didn't see coming. I sometime watch movies with a clear ideas of what's coming and that doesn't stop me from enjoying these films - if the execution and the acting is solid - but in this case I only roughly guessed how things would play out. So there was room for surprises and I liked that.
Speaking about surprises, Sean Harris was pretty good in the movie, I'm not saying that I'm shocked, but I was surprised to see him in a role like this and I'm glad he pulled it off. It's almost the same thing with Alec Baldwin, they managed to make his role a little bit more interesting than the stereotypical type these characters usually are. But the biggest surprise is Rebecca Ferguson, I still can't believe that it's the same woman from the mini-series The White Queen. She's fascinating and mysterious in the movie, not that the latest MI films have a bad track record with female leads but this one is probably the best out of all of them.
MI: Rogue nation was a fun, entertaining movie going experience.
