Far LESS entertaining than M.I.4 (Ghost protocol)

Rating: Null/10 (14 August 2015)

I wont bother you with the plot of M.I.5. It is the usual spy stuff. Some "list" in a USB stick. Your own agency against you etc. etc.
To tell you the truth I couldn't distinguish the premise from that of a 007 movie.
Anyway. It is a movie so the question is how much entertainment you get from watching it. Well...not that much. Although the 2011 MI4 was a great movie in terms of action and fun (Best of all MI movies) this one is ...meh. Too much of the usual car chases and countdowns and retina scans etc. that fail to keep you interested.
The leading lady is also boring and uncharismatic (for this particular part at least). Cruise is looking tired, and the rest of cast has a minor involvement in the plot. The "bad guy" is also ...meh. Where is Telly Savalas and Michael Lonsdale?? Some of the stunts claimed to be real, but they are nothing compare to the scenes at Burj Khalifa of MI4. I remember enjoying the opening sequence of MI4 in a soviet prison and some funny and thrilling scenes at the Kremlin. Unfortunately, No such fun sequences in MI5.
Overall: a mediocre film of the genre (and maybe I am too generous) .
