The Best one Since The First One

Rating: 9/10 (22 August 2015)

Really good action movie, shot in beautiful locations, with a funny sidekick (Simon Pegg), one really nasty son of a b___ as a villain (Sean Harris) and a stunning, gorgeous female agent (Rebecca Ferguson). In short, it had all the ingredients for a great film, and that's what it is. I got my money's worth and more besides. Much better film than the silly Man from Uncle. I'm amazed how Cruise can still perform such physically demanding roles at his age, he must be super fit. Alec Baldwin is also very effective as the CIA boss; the part seems tailor made for him. The car and motorbike chases are exciting and very well handled. Of course it's all far fetched nonsense, but this is escapism. Go and watch it.
