Fifth installment in tremendously popular spy franchise really packs a punch.

Rating: 8/10 (1 August 2015)

For a fifth installment in a franchise, this film was extraordinary. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation definitely exceeded my expectations. The fact that a good percentage of the death- defying stunts in this movie were done without the use of special effects is enough to guarantee enough ticket sales to regain the film's impressive $150 million production budget. This PG-13-rated movie delivers plenty of edge-of-your-seat action, which is aided by the perfectly-timed quips of Simon Pegg, throughout its 131-minute runtime. The cinematography is absolutely wonderful, and as for content that parents of younger children may object too, there isn't much aside from the films intense chase/combat sequences and some mild profanity sprinkled throughout the script. Overall, this is one expertly-crafted espionage thriller that you won't want to miss.
