Rogue Nation is the best MI movie.

Rating: 10/10 (8 August 2015)

We saw Rogue Nation last night. The 93% rating on Rotten Tomatoes is well deserved. The story has the usual chases, gun battles, and fist fights, but it's true strength is the battle of wits between Ethan Hunt and the evil villain. Even better than the good story, the amazing action, and Lalo Schifrin's music is the consummate performance of Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa. She is an Ingrid Bergman with dark hair - maybe that's why her character name is Ilsa. And some of the movie does take place in Casablanca. Believe me, I wouldn't mention Mission Impossible in the same sentence as the immortal Casablanca unless Mission deserves it - and it does. In a summer filled with great action super hero movies - this one stands out.
