Mission Impossible – Fallout is incredible
movie making and a top notch addition to the whole series. Tom Cruise (plays
Ethan Hunt) is aging but still believable as he foils the plot of M16 operative
turned anarchist Solomon Lane (Sean Harris). Cruise dives, dashes, zooms,
careens, and also climbs into a helicopter. His derring-do stunts are legendary
and gasp worthy. His sidekicks played by Ving Rhames (Luther), Simon Pegg
(Benji), and Rebecca Ferguson (Ilsa) are reliable and add some humor and drama
to the movie.
There are plenty of double-triple crosses. Vanessa
Kirby’s White Widow brings a lot of energy to the film – is she good or bad?
Henry Cavill’s CIA operative is assigned to shadow the group. Oh, he’s a
cool cucumber and there are some tight scenes with Cruise. Angela Bassett is a top
dog and she and Alec Baldwin go toe to toe in regards to the departmental power
struggle. There’s plutonium out there with the potential for disaster. Tick
Tock Tick….
Lots of travel, action, kick moves, and more. The plot
almost goes too quick – I had to think a bit to keep track of who was doing
what to whom and why? But there’s heart in this film too – some golden moments
with Ethan and his people demonstrating a little fatigue, some world weary
concern. Whew! This is a quality summer blockbuster. Cruise runs and runs,
defies gravity at times, hangs from a rope, and more. He is his own mission
impossible against time. But I recommend you use your time to see MI
– Fallout
Seeing it today and everyone has raved that it's excellent.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll like it. Enjoy!
DeleteHi Joanne - another of those that might pass me by ... but interesting to see your review and Alex' comment - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeletethe movie is fun and has a lot of energy. You can catch it on Netflix later and be entertained
DeleteCruise is a crazy person, but he sure can make good movies, many a time at least.
ReplyDeleteI agree but I've liked him through the years. He does have a good sense of humor about himself too - makes a good guest - see him with James Cordon - quite funny. He's a good actor and a sharp guy.
DeleteI've been totally out of the cine loop for the past couple months! Cruise is a neat actor.
ReplyDeleteNice to catch up here. Hope your July was great.
howdy. Well, this is a good movie to start back with for movie watching
DeleteWe saw it, and I enjoyed it, even though it isn't the kind of movie I usually go out of my way to see. It definitely held my attention to the end.
