It really is you

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2018)

Ethan (Tom Cruise) is up against the Syndicate (Sean Harris) and fights to take them down. He is aided by Simon Pegg, Jeremy Renner, and Ving Rhames. Rebecca Ferguson is the femme fatale whose loyalty changes with every scene. In this installment the entire world is after Ethan as he tries to save it.
While I rated this film 5 stars, on the Mission Impossible franchise scale, I consider this to be the least entertaining of the series, like Hobbit as compared to Lord of the Rings. It is more entertaining than what is out there, but not as entertaining as when compared to itself. The action wasn't as adrenaline filled as previous films. Ethan escapes mundane death maybe seven-eight times in this film and on a paltry three continents. While I love Ving Rhames in "B" films one has to ask where was Morgan Freeman?
Another criticism I have, as previous films, was the limited use of the adrenaline pumping Mission Impossible theme song. Instead they would take a rift and incorporate into some sort of spy/Bond music. It was as if they were letting me taste it, and then they rip it out of my mouth.
Guide: No F-bombs, sex, or nudity. Rebecca Ferguson naked back. Killings and explosions, nothing graphic. Heck, most of the bullets that land are knock out darts.
