This franchise just keeps getting better and better!

Rating: Null/10 (31 July 2015)

Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation follows the return of Ethan Hunt who as of now has to deal with the IMF now disbanded, a new threat called the Syndicate, soon emerges. Faced with what may be the most impossible mission yet, Ethan gathers his team and joins forces with a British agent who may or may not be a member of this deadly rogue nation.
Writer/Director Christopher McQuarrie (Jack Reacher) has taken on this fifth installment of Mission: Impossible by proving that there's plenty of life left in this franchise. Tom Cruise is still on top at his A game with his usual death defying stunts and being just so enjoyable to see on screen, he's still always seizing to amaze me with every wit he has.
New to the franchise, Rebecca Ferguson played such a poised, sensual and sang froid woman who can guarantee to whack a punch with all the skills she has to offer and she does play a enigma throughout the film. Simon Pegg returns as Benji, who's such a delight when it came to the comic relief, Jeremy Renner & Ving Rhames return as well as the tight-lipped teammates.
Bringing to Hunt a blend of steeliness and vulnerability, Cruise is still succeeding at giving everything he's got to this role by going out of the his way to keep us entertained. The action is simply explosive and in your face, like when it came to the enthralling set pieces, everything looked great when it came to hanging off a plane to a motorcycle chase, there's a lot to take in from these visionary and awe inspiring moments when our main star is doing these nail bitting stunts himself.
Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation does delivers more of same but gee, it just feels so good to be in the thrill of the moment. There was plenty more of espionage to go around in film from the high tech gadgets to the combat of each tense action sequence. Even if MIRN might be on par with its previous film, it's still a solid, mildly subversive entry into the series with its self-aware sense of humor and brand of action that feels fresher and more freewheeling than anything that we'll get this summer. I just get goosebumps every time I hear that iconic theme song, it's just so catchy!
