Until now, I had always considered "Rogue Nation" to be slightly inferior to "Ghost Protocol." But I don't really know why anymore—the fifth installment of the Mission Impossible film series is fantastic. And it has a huge trump card over its direct predecessor in Rebecca Ferguson as MI6 agent Ilsa Faust. Ferguson easily keeps up with Tom Cruise. Not only is she by far the best female character in the series, but she's also one of my favorites in general. The staging is also excellent. The opening is immediately spectacular, the entire sequence later in the Vienna State Opera is thrilling, and the whole dive scene in Morocco is breathtaking. Sean Harris's portrayal of the villain Solomon Lane is also an improvement over the earlier films. Only the plot is a bit too muddled, but that honestly hardly bothers me since all the other elements just fit perfectly.
