Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

Director: Christopher McQuarrie. Cast: Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, Sean Harris, Vanessa Kirby, Michelle Monaghan, Alec Baldwin, Angela Bassett, Wes Bentley. 147 min. Rated PG-13. Action/Thriller.

Watching this, I kept wondering: they've been making action movies forever, and here's still one that I'm glued to the screen, having adrenaline rush after adrenaline rush for the characters, during chase scenes involving cars, motorcycles, helicopters, running (yes! running!), through the most intricate plot, for two-and-a-half hours straight. And the movie knows since we're in the Game of Thrones/Infinity War hero-dying era, the stakes are higher than James Bond, because we'll ask: did Tom Cruise and his team just die? Mission Impossible has never been boring, but this next to Ghost Protocol is one of the best.

  1. Yes! one of those excellent action movies that works without paying attention to plot or having any particular twist.Thanks GOD! just sit relaxed and enjoyed excitement of tons of action and fight scenes, when some of them was really cool such bathroom scene.Cruise, eternally energetic at the age of 56, like a vampire, has not aged and keep running, jumping,leaping from one building to another, dating with new hot girls forever!

    1. Yes, and I was especially impressed how Henry Cavill (the new Superman) was able to keep up with Cruise's star power. Not an easy task.
