An Absolute Delight for all Fans of Action and Spy Thrillers,

Rating: 9/10 (17 August 2015)

Mission: Impossible- Rogue Nation is a fantastic movie with a very well developed storyline and an outstanding cast. You would expect a film series to be getting tiring by its fifth installment, but the Mission: Impossible series seems to only be getting better, and I would honestly say this is the best one yet, it's like the Empire Strikes Back of this series, as it is certainly the darkest one to date, much less light hearted moments that the first four, and we see these characters in a position worse than they've ever been previously, it's great that the film makers are doing something different with these movies every time and not just recycling stuff that worked previously. The only thing I felt this movie needed was more character development for Ilsa Faust, I really liked this character and Rebecca Ferguson's performance was very impressive, but I left the movie feeling like we could have learned more about her, she was a blank canvas from the beginning, and we do learn more about her as the film progresses, but I left feeling like I didn't know enough, I hope to see Ferguson return for sequels. The cast is outstanding and these type of films could never work without a good one as they are very character driven, Tom Cruise is still a delight to watch Cruise portray Ethan Hunt even after nearly twenty years, there is no indication that he is getting bored of playing him, and thankfully it dosen't look like he'll be finished anytime soon, Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner get to shine here even more than they did in Ghost Protocol, as well as regular cast member Ving Rhames, and of course there are magnificent performances from newcomers Rebecca Ferguson, Alec Baldwin and Sean Harris, this series is great at bringing in new actors in a way that offers something fresh that differentiates itself from previous installments. Action packed and will keep you at the edge of your seat all the way through, I would recommend Mission: Impossible- Rogue Nation to anyone looking for a good action or thriller.
Ethan and his crew must take on the Syndicate, an organisation intent on destroying the IMF.
Best Performance: Tom Cruise Worst Performance: Hermione Corfield
