Lead Us Not Into Temptation....or may be just once more.

Rating: 8/10 (21 August 2015)

MI is back with the fifth installment in the movie series and it doesn't disappoint. To be honest I had almost closed the file on this franchise after the release of Mission: Impossible II (2000), a movie which can be simply defined as a disaster. However, the way the MI bandwagon has since bounced back , producing good quality entertainment in each subsequent installment , is truly commendable.
For me the most impressive aspect of the movie is its attempt at reversion to a more suspense laced theme line as opposed to the outright slam dunk actions movies that were released post Mission Impossible(1996) .
Although the movie does not touch the masterful suspense of MI (1996) there is something very similar to its approach . Be it the introduction of plot elements, the screen presence of the characters and even the theme song.
The action scenes are quite impressive . This is no mean achievement given the tight competition in this genre these days. The director manages to retain the reputation by "that special" stunt sequence reserved for Cruise's character in each installment.
The dialogue is well written and quite lucid. The screenplay is lively and interactive.
One cannot legitimately be critical of the acting in any action movie. MI-V is no exception. What matters is that the movie contains a substantial number of quips, smart quips one-liners to keep the audience thoroughly entertained till the very end.
A fine addition to the series. A good action movie in its own right. Do watch it .
