If Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol raised the bar on the franchise
adaptation of the venerable TV series, Mission
Impossible: Rogue Nation maintains its high. Tom Cruise is a movie star and
showman, and he gives this film his all in sheer conviction and physical action
in breath taking stunts on land, sea and air. The convoluted plot has the IMF
being disbanded by Congress while an evil organization, The Syndicate,
represents a mirror image of the IMF, and its mastermind is out to target Ethan
Hunt (Cruise). Some of the old gang like Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg and Ving
Rhames and new faces Alec Baldwin and standout Rebecca Ferguson shine in
support. Replete with well constructed suspense, the spectacular action set
pieces open with that famous shot of Cruise hanging on for dear life outside a
plane taking off. Writer/director Christopher McQuarrie (the Usual Suspects script) keeps everything humming along. Mission
accomplished!
