"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you okay to drive? A minute ago you were dead."
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation is still as amazing as the first time I saw it. From Tom Cruise hanging on a airplane to the way they trap Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) at the end, you'll realize that you have been watching another Mission: Impossible sequel for about 135 minutes. I'm still at awe how it is even possible for a franchise to get better with each installment.
The ingredient here is the role of Ilsa Faust played brilliantly by Rebecca Ferguson. She's the young indestructible Ethan Hunt. While Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is getting older, might even be a step slower and more vulnerable then he ever was. Which is a good thing. What also helps is that in every damn sequel they get the big set pieces right. The opera scene in Vienna? Awesome. The chase scene in Casablanca? Brilliant. The opening stunt? Epic.
And yet again, the cast is getting better too. Simon Pegg stepping up and is so lovable as Benji, Jeremy Renner being the funny guy was a great move (so sad he couldn't be part of the next installment), seeing Ving Rhames as Luther never disappoints and adding Alec Balwin? Brilliant!
Anyway they even amped up the spy stuff! Loved the story in this one too. Christopher McQuarrie was a great choice to direct this and I am so happy he is returning for part 7! And man, that tune never gets old!
Lovely rewatch!
The fifth installment in this franchise is the best one yet, with a compelling plot, a Bond-esque super villain, and the intense action set pieces that Cruise does better than anyone.
I was a bit harsh on this one last time, and I have to say I enjoyed this film quite a lot more than 2015 me seemed to.
It’s solid all round and I thought the plot was pretty compelling so god knows what I was banging on about.
I also neglected to mention that I am deeply in love with Rebecca Ferguson but alas my somewhat downbeat review of Mission Impossible V has probably turned her off. Still Rebecca, if you’re reading, my wife says it’s ok.

simply stunning! this is what Mission Impossible really about: how you keep the storyline intriguing, what are the stakes, and how to get you to the main antagonist without sacrificing a lot.
Combined that with astonishing performance from Tom Cruise, you get a beautiful action movies!
P.S: Rebecca Ferguson is :fire::fire::fire:

Watched this again. Although every Mission Impossible movie has been very good (except the goofy MI:2), I think "Rogue Nation" is slightly better than MI:3 or "Ghost Protocol".
Tom Cruise's action movies just keep bringing the goods. The fact that this guy does most of his own stunts is a big selling point for me. I think he's insane, and his stunt-work solidifies that. But the best thing about this movie was Rebecca Ferguson. She was without question one of the most capable special agents I've seen, man or woman.
This time around our hero Ethan Hunt is on the run after the IMF is disband by CIA director. Like most Mission: Impossible films, the plot in Rogue Nation can be vague and confusing when it comes to motives of IMF's adversaries, but we all know why we show up for these films. The spectacular action scenes. Id like to start by saying with Tom Cruise the majority of the movies he does are really great, and he gives it 100% each and every time. mission impossible is one of the very rare Hollywood franchises that actually gets better with each new sequel. 'Rogue Nation' may not be as fun as the past films 'Apparition Protocol', yet it's an exceedingly decent action, adventure film. The failing in the movie, if it can be called that, is the predictable plot. Great action sequences, especially those which involved suspense (loved the opera scene).
I've really enjoyed this franchise so far (other than one less than stellar film) and damn, this film carries everything on. Honestly, one of the main reasons I love the franchise is probably because they are so similar to the 007 franchise. Instead, these are a bit more light with jokes and, obviously, American. Except they spend some time in the UK this time.
Anyway, yea, about this specific film. Great action. I mean look at this photo because it was awesome. Specifically though, the car/motorcycle race in here is just so engaging and fun. I've got to say, Tom Cruise might be crazy, but he is a great action star.
Rogue Nation is a thrill ride...until about two-thirds in. After that, you get a rather weak ending. The movie keeps up the pace and style of the two latest instalments of this franchise but fails to retain the momentum. The acting was good...especially Rebecca Ferguson. Luckily she is slated to return in the next one.
Rogue Nation is so far, the weakest since number two, but it's still worth a watch.
Indeed this was the best movie of the series, Cruise deliver a very good Ethan with nice action sequences and chases. Pegg was a comedic genius of the film. Nice touches of comedy by everyone
Honestly, how do these movies keep getting better? They just keep finding crazier stuff to do and Tom Cruise does it. Rebecca Ferguson is a great addition, she is wonderful. Sean Harris plays a good villain, the second best one in the series behind Philip Seymour Hoffman. I really like that this feels much more like a continuation of the same story from Ghost Protocol unlike the first three which were almost completely separate stories. Very much looking forward to Fallout.
Slider..sniff sniff...you stink
"Looks like the mission....just got impossible." - Quote by Ben Stiller.
The story in Rogue Nation is about Ethan Hunt and his team face their biggest and most dangerous threat yet (Would you believe it) The Syndicate, an international rogue group that are as skilled as they are deadly - and their number one goal is to eliminate the IMF.
Before I talk about Rogue Nation here is all my thoughts on the previous Mission Impossible movies. The first movie in my opinion was decent and a lot of hard work went into that film, I mean you look at the behind the scenes of the first movie people really worked they ass of on that movie and to me it paid off nicely. I give the first movie a strong 3/5 star's.
Mission Impossible 2 was pretty terrible to be honest. I felt like I was watching a different movie because to me I didn't feel like the first movie or even a Mission Impossible movie. I'm giving Mission Impossible 2 a 2/5 star's.
Mission Impossible 3 really got things back on track after the messy MI 2. Philip Seymour Hoffman was a great villain and JJ. Abrams did a good job directing the action scenes and the whole movie. I'm giving the third one a 3½ / 5 star's.
Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol was pretty good. The actions scenes and the characters are the highlight of the movie. My only problem with the movie is that the villain was a bit weak and wasn't really that menacing. Overall I'm giving Ghost Protocol movie a solid 4/5 star's.
And now for Rogue Nation and it was a very enjoyable movie and I liked it a little more than Ghost Protocol.
I was a bit worried but at the same time interesting on what Christopher McQuarrie will bring to a franchise like this, because this is the same guy who directed Jack Reacher and I though that movie was okay but nothing special. Brad Bird was originally suppose to direct this movie but dropped out because he wanted to direct Tomorrowland and then Christopher McQuarrie stepped in. After seeing the movie I'm so happy to say that Christopher McQuarrie did a great job directing this movie as he added a lot to this movie when it comes to action and it's characters. McQuarrie really gave the actions scenes a feeling of rush and the action never got stale after wards like some action movies do after awhile. Nicely done Christopher McQuarrie.
It's crazy how Tom Cruise is 50 years old and he's doing all of his own stunts for his fans and keep it real and not over use CGI. He was great in this movie like in everyone movie Tom Cruise was in. You can tell by his face that he's in the zone when he dose these stunts that could kill him or hurt him really bad. Tom Cruise nailed the humor, he nailed the action scenes and he nailed the role.
Many people and myself had no idea who Rebecca Ferguson was before Rogue Nation. She was in last years Hercules with Dwayne Johnson that nobody remembered and I already forgotten that movie already. Rebecca Ferguson was so good in this movie that she is going places after this because of how good she was. In this movie she was like the female Liam Neeson from Taken because it's the whole "I'm going to kill you in one blow" kind of character. Rebecca and Cruise worked together perfectly and she nailed the role of a strong female character.
Simon Pegg was great in this movie playing Benji. It's surprising that not a lot of people give him credit in this movie as his known best at comedy but he's also a great action actor star as well, he proved that in Ghost protocol, Rogue Nation and Hot Fuzz.
The rest of the cast like: Ving Rhames, Jeremy Renner and Alec Baldwin all did great in this movie.
The one thing that the Mission Impossible movies doesn't do very well is it's villain. Philip Seymour Hoffman was the only good villain in Mission Impossible series but the rest of villains have been weak and pretty forgettable. But the villain in Rogue Nation has a lot of motivation and he's the kind of villain that you understand where is coming from. Sean Harris dose a great performance as this chilling character but it wasn't an incredible villain but still better than the one we got in the other movies.
Now for the problems: The movie itself isn't flawless as these some scenes in the movie that the pacing dragged a little bit and when the characters have conversations about the gadgets and stuff it wasn't that interesting as Ghost Protocol did it better, because Ghost Protocol was a straight up action movie filled with humor and entertaining characters and when they have conversations about gadgets it was interesting and creative.
Overall Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation isn't only just a good action movie it's a good movie on it's own. The movie took elements from the first movie and Ghost Protocol and puts it together in this movie which made it a very entertaining movie.
Pulled out the Blu-ray to test my new setup. I really don't think I gave this movie proper credit when it came out. Its so so amazing. Not only are the action scenes exhilarating set pieces not ruined by green screen overkill, they're funny too. This series always gets that right, injecting humor into super serious badass action.
I think this was another situation where I couldn't judge the movie properly the first time around because the weight of the previous film. Ghost protes is one of my fave movies of all time. It's a tough aft to follow even if you follow it with one of the best movies of the year. It's a real WALL*E/Up situation.
Building over the previous instalment, Rogue Nation proposes a plot that involves a deep-secret organisation hidden in plain sight within the confines of the world-wide intelligence community. Of course, this isn't something new, at all (S.P.E.C.T.R.E. did all that back since the late 50's). The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist, and just like that The Syndicate goes to extreme lengths to cover its tracks, not too convincingly. I mean, The Syndicate has been operating with almost unlimited funding since 9/11, but has never been able to manage a true chaos environment to thrive in and keep the status-quo... and that's a complete failure of its mission statement, specially with that kind of budget. The real C.I.A. did better than that with just a a minimal fraction of that money in South America in the 60's and the Middle East in the early 80's. The action scenes are good enough, but none of them surpass the elegance and thrill of the Burj Khalifa sequence in Ghost Protocol (and that's sad, in my opinion). Sam Harris isn't as convincing as he needs to be as the main antagonist, and I did find his exposition scenes a little bit forced, and within the Hollywood cliché that the villain has to explain everything to us, mere mortals, instead of just just killing the hero. The Chinese investment in the film is felt and unwelcome, in my opinion, just like it happened to Marvel in Iron Man 3, trying to add Chinese characters and scenes (trust me, those 15 extra minutes of the Chinese plot in Iron Man 3 available only in the Asian version of the film are worthless). Overall, this is a fine movie, albeit of lesser quality than the previous one in terms of scope. IMF is always (except in the first 2 movies) in the verge of disappearing, and 4 of the movies have the characters in rogue mode, so it's a little bit disappointing to me that they are still beating that same dead horse once again. Please, it is that hard to portray a few flawless missions just as the TV series did in a hundred episodes with a bare-bottoms budget and good acting?.
i dont know how many times i can sit here and talk about how great these movies have been and how surprised i am. i think im learning that i quite like the action genre, which i suppose makes sense since as a kid i was very into spies. simon pegg was a big standout to me, his turn into seriousness towards the climax was brilliantly done and he plays it brilliantly. renner fits the team well, and rebecca ferguson was a huge standout and welcome addition. im not a baldwin fan but i enjoyed him in this. the stunts were amazing, as always. i liked that we got more masks in this one. just a fun movie i loved it
This franchise just keeps getting better. Great action, and they keep finding more impossible things to do. I like how they started creating a bit of continuity after MI:III.
For some reason this one doesn't keep me as interested as the 3rd and 4th one. I think the whole syndicate thing isn't the most exciting for me.
I do love the incredible plane stunt and I found out that Tom Cruise held his breath for 6 minutes during shooting, which was a record. The chase scene is also very cool and the opera scene is phenomenal.
So enough stuff to make it a good movie, just a step down (for me) from the previous ones.
Undoubtedly, "Rogue Nation" stands out as the most well-balanced installment in the saga so far, albeit the repetition of the same dynamics has started to become tiresome. This marks the umpteenth occasion where Ethan finds himself hunted by authorities, the IMF frozen for whatever reason. Nevertheless, the film showcases commendable attention to maintaining a consistent tone and a keen awareness of all the elements that have made the saga memorable up to this point.
Moreover, the film's strength lies in its choral approach and skillful utilization of supporting characters, a trend initiated with "Ghost Protocol" and now further enhanced by the addition of a charismatic female counterpart for Ethan.
Although the villain surpasses the lackluster Cobalt character by miles, I must admit that I wasn't entirely convinced by the Syndicate. The danger is palpable through the description of their vicious acts, yet when it comes to action, it’s just a bunch of henchies. The tension escalated in the final sequences, but I couldn't help but feel that there were too many subquests leading up to that point, which slightly impacted my overall engagement. On the other hand, I can't deny the guilty excitement I experienced during the Fast and Furious-esque car chase in the middle.
The only negative things I have to say about this one is that the villain could use a little bit more of development that isn't delivered through exposition and that he gets captured in a rather silly way. Like a mouse.
Like a good cup of coffee: it'll wake you up but it goes right through you.
Rebecca Ferguson is a welcome addition to the team but there's nothing to set this one apart from the others in the franchise.
I feel like this movie perfects the recipe, McQuarrie takes a piece of every previous installment and then adds his own special sauce. The results are proof positive that the Cruise/McQuarrie team is the only way to go moving forward.
revisiting the previous two movies before watching Death Reckoning Part One, i gotta say it never gets old watching that intro sequence where it's all hectic and high energy, pure chaos, then Ethan Hunt comes running, Tom Cruise's stunts are truly out of this world, and i still cannot believe that this man really pulled off the strapped-to-an-airplane stunt. a whole. AIRPLANE.
& Solomon Lane has got to be one of my favorite villains from any movie franchise ever, especially the Mission Impossible one, so far. The actor just fits perfectly well with this character and are a great match in my opinion;
i love how they managed to give Lane his very own poison, and got him frustratingly trapped in a glass box at the end, just like Ethan was at the start
& finally,
"I can neither confirm nor deny details of any operation without the Secretary's approval."
that line is just hilarious, especially at the end
Ghost Protocol had a great balance between interesting story and thrilling action sequences. Rogue Nation isn't as balanced, it's more: elaborate storyline with a bit of fun. More story is an upgrade of course but I wasn't really captivated or interested in it. The tone is so different... more serious (thank god Simon Pegg was there at least), less comedy, less action and so much less memorable. The opening scene on the plane was amazing, motorcycle chase was done right (unlike M:II), the few action set pieces looked amazing, score is probably the best it's ever been and Sean Harris is a memorable villain. Third act didn't do it for me, feels out of shape and uneventful. I was dying for a bit of spice.
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.
Rogue Nation is a thrilling and action-packed addition to the Mission: Impossible franchise. Tom Cruise delivers another impressive performance as Ethan Hunt, and the supporting cast is equally excellent. The action sequences are intense and expertly choreographed, particularly the plane scene. The plot is engaging and keeps the audience engaged until the very end.
The Mission:Impossible movies just keep getting better. When I started watching this franchise with the original M:I I have to admit I wasn't that impressed with anything : not the storyline, not the cast, nor the acting, not really anything about the original movie. As I progressed through the franchise, however, the movies kept getting better in every aspect…even the endings. This particular film was riveting from the opening scene and some of the stunts that Tom Cruise puts himself through (I found it astonishing that he insists on performing his own stunts) are absolutely jaw-dropping. Tiny bit of humor - whether intentional or accidental (and just left in the film intentionally) - was where Cruise, only moments after being rescusitated after a near-drowning, tries to leapfrog across the hood of a parked car and misses terribly. He then opens the driver's door, whereupon his accomplish "Benji" looks incredulously at him and says, "Are you sure you're okay to drive?" Again, I don't know if that was intentional or a "blooper" that they decided to leave in because it added to the moment. All in all, another great installment in the Mission:Impossible franchise!
Part 5 is the further reduction of the defining elements of the series.
The stunts continue to be magnificently done, a threat to the world or its systems, many deceptions and Tom, I do all my own stunts, Cruise.
Particularly worthy of praise here is the antagonist. Not only the performance of Sean Harris, the emotionless and calculated leader of the Syndicate, but especially his motives, make the antagonists comprehensible. Specifically, the plan, the approach based on the specific skills of the group are comprehensible and the background of the characters is clear. All of these points should actually be the norm, but are unfortunately rarely given today.
Really well filmed action, with comprehensible plot lines and actions from the characters. Should be watched if you are into action espionage.
I'd be lying if I said that this movie wasn't fun and great to watch. I'd also be lying if I said that this film didn't build upon the improvements made during the last outing. However, much of the character work here is quite frustrating. Make no mistake, this film franchise is certainly, to some extent, always going to be a "dumb summer action movie" franchise, but the writers here seem to lose sight of the fact that it's not the characters' dumb decisions that tend to place a film in "dumb summer action movie" territory, but the scenarios in which they are placed. Both the Ethan Hunt as well as one of his antagonists make decisions that don't entirely make sense, or fail to connect dots where they plainly exist, and while for Ethan, much of this is rectified by the end (which is, to be fair, one of the coolest and cleverest endings in the entire series), it just makes his character seem inconsistently written for the sake of dramatic effect.
Nonetheless, this is still quite an enjoyable watch, and if you don't particularly care about the minutia of character consistency in each and every scene, you likely won't find too much wrong with this movie.
Looks great, cleanly shot but is so very, very silly. I laughed all the way through this.
Ignoring everything else about the movie, as a motorcyclist I couldn't believe the onboard footage scenes... As close as I could ever suggest to non-bikers as to what we experience when riding a high-performance motorcycle.
Brilliant.
Rebecca Ferguson is absolutely spellbinding. Worthy of a franchise.
And the film. Slightly less strong than the previous but has a series of fantastic stunts that make up for the difference.
7.5/10
“Hunt is the living manifestation of destiny!”
Probably the most plot driven MI film, so much so that it doesn’t even have a set piece during the third act. It really brings back that Hitchcock feeling that’s been missing since the original, the clever writing is as much of a draw as the action here. The set pieces are once again pretty spectacular and imaginative, the opera scene and motorcycle chase being among the franchise’s best. Ilsa Faust is the franchise’s best supporting character, the constant switching of allegiances was such a great idea to keep the audience guessing. Lane is one of the franchise’s better villains, though he’s not on the same level as Philip Seymour Hoffman. I also love how they realized that throwing in more Simon Pegg will automatically elevate any scene, his comedic and dramatic contributions to this franchise are still a little underappreciated. Technically it’s once again very accomplished, the cinematography by Robert Elswit is beautiful (and very different from his work on Ghost Protocol) and I’ll never get enough of hearing that theme song.
8.5/10
Christopher McQuarrie starts directing the franchise from now on and I’m glad he continued to do so, because he does a terrific job.
Rebecca Ferguson is an awesome addition, she is so badass. Ethan’s crew is always great, Alec Baldwin is here too to antagonize a little. Sean Harris is a good villain.
Nice use of several gadgets. I liked the pacing as well, although Ghost Protocol is a bit better in this aspect.
We have a lot of amazing set pieces with crazy action scenes. Damn, that motorcycle/car chase sequence is insane!
I can’t really decide whether Rogue Nation or Ghost Protocol is my favorite movie of the franchise so far, but they’re heading in a amazing way. If all movies had sequels like this, the world would be a better place.
THIS ONE WAS SUPER FREAKING AWESOME AMAZING AND THE BEST ONE FOR ME SO FAR. FANTASTIC ACTION SEQUENCES AMAZING STORY AND SPECIAL EFFECTS, AWESOME STUNTS, SUCH AN INTERESTING STORY AND TOP NOTCH PACING. THE BAD GUY WAS JUST THE BEST AND THE BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN HUNT AND HER WAS JUST THE BEST. AND THEM FIGHTING SIDE BY SIDE WAS SPECTACULAR, LOVED HOW SHE FOUGHT LIKE
BLACK WIDOW, EVEN BENJI GOT HIS POUND OF FLESH IN THIS ONE, (STILL NO MASK FOR HIM THOUGH) LOL.
WHAT CAN I SAY MORE MY FAVOURITE WAS NUMBER 3
9/10
TILL THIS ONE CAME ALONG AT A VERY VERY STRONG
10/10. IT WAS SO CLEVER AND SLICK n COOL. I'LL HAVE SOME MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE. BAR SO HIGH NOW BE HARD IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE (see what i did there) TO BEAT.
SPEAKING OF THIS WAS THE BEST IMPOSSIBLE MISSION THEY HAD YO BEAT YET.

I lost 2 hours of my life watching this movie.
One of the best in the action genre you are going to get.
The fifth installment of the franchise, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation delivers an exciting, adrenaline-packed adventure. After the IMF is disbanded secret agent Ethan Hunt goes rogue in order to complete one last mission to expose a criminal syndicate of former spies turned mercenaries. Tom Cruise, Jeremy Renner, and Simon Pegg return, and are joined by Rebecca Ferguson and Alec Baldwin. And their performances are pretty good; particularly Ferguson, whose stunt work and fight scenes are especially well-done. Director Christopher McQuarrie also does an impressive job, and brings a lot of suspense and tension to the action sequences. Thoroughly entertaining, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is an explosive spy thriller.
Love the fact that this movie is partly set and was partly shot in Vienna, the capital of Austria. Besides that it's a nice action-flick bit nothing to spectacular.
Have to say that motorcycle chase scene was pretty intense and the IMF team is awesome!
Great movie. I am just not a fan of the anti-climatic showdown between Ethan and the main villain in the end.
7,5/10 really enjoyable movie!
Right now it's the best spy movie franchise. Yes, better than JB and better than the other JB. Most of all, it's probably the only movie franchise that gets better with each movie.
Like in its previous installment, Rogue Nation has fast, gripping action while still maintaining its clever plot progression by utilizing gaps between scenes. But I would say Rogue Nation falls a bit slightly from its predecessor for its lack of proper characterization.
Unlike Ghost Protocol, Ethan (Tom Cruise) mostly work by himself here, letting only a little room for his dynamics with the other team members. Especially the new cast Luther (Ving Rhames) and the female protag Ilsa (Rebecca Ferguson). The relationship with the latter is especially important because by 3/4 of the movie the plot started to progress with Ethan orienting himself toward Ilsa and the other member of his teams.
While this is not necessary a bad thing, but the lack of development with other characters make the film a bit rushed toward making the impression that Ethan already bonded that much with someone he barely know. The villain Lane (Sean Harris) motivation and goal also remained unclear until the end of the movie, making Ethan's goal himself in the last half of the movie seems kinda fuzzy - which seems to explain why other characters have to mention it several times, we're being told a story here, not being shown.
I personally see this film as bridging Ghost Protocol to the next sequel, a trend that I seem to see from movies out in this year (Suicide Squad, Age of Apocalypse), as the ending seems to suggest. So while I'm not completely satisfied on how Rogue Nation turns out to be, I'm looking forward to the next MI installment.
<3 <3 Tom Cruise is so hawt
#ShiftvW8
More in the same vein of the MI series. I must admit though as predictable as "spy" movie plots can be this one was different just enough to keep me in the movie until the end. I do like it when the plot or the characters fool me...not that easy but still happens too often. So, "thumbs up" for this one even for me who finds Tom Cruise' acting way too overrated. Just an opinion Tom, nothing personal. #ShiftvW8
I said in my review of The Man from U.N.C.L.E. (2015) that I'd have to watch and compare this with that and Spectre… Well, here we are.
The 2015 Mission: Impossible installment roundly beats out The Man from U.N.C.L.E. in writing, production, and on-screen chemistry. Rebecca Ferguson is no Alicia Vikander (LOVED her in Ex Machina), but the interactions between both leading men worked much, MUCH better in this film. It helps that Christopher McQuarrie let this film have a much calmer editing style—it's a hell of a lot easier to follow than Guy Ritchie's chaotic simul-action sequences with 2-5 camera views on screen at once.
I'm still undecided whether I like Spectre or M:I better for my top 2015 spy film, but I'm officially knocking U.N.C.L.E. out of the running. MI-6 and the IMF can duke it out.
(It's entirely possible that I'm being easier on this film because I lack a solid background with the franchise; I've seen very little M:I compared to U.N.C.L.E. But I don't think that's why I like this one so MUCH more.)
Podemos ser quiénes queramos... y hacer lo que queramos. Sólo es cuestión de lanzarse.
Lent this on Google Play Movies and did not regret it: great action flick! I really enjoyed the two hours with it and think that it is gripping and thrilling until the last scenes because one doesn't know who is crossing who.
I now have to give the previous installment of the series a shot, which I missed so far. Hopefully it is as good as this one!
I liked the previous film alot better. Bit disappointed about this one.
Bon film d'action à voir.
Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) & co. return for the fifth time in the Mission: Impossible franchise. This time the Impossible Missions Force (IMF) is disbanded at the request of the CIA, but as this happens in Washington D.C, Ethan Hunt is in London uncovering a plot to cock up the world. The IMF team must go off the record in order to stop the threat.
Let’s get one thing out of the way first: they have to stop using the stupid magic mask thing so much. It’s not central to the plot this time but all you are thinking for 120 minutes is ‘is that really X or is he just wearing a mask?’. Yes, disguise is an important part of the franchise, but this is just lazy storytelling.
As ever there are some spectacular and original action scenes. The film has been heavily marketed on the premise that Cruise does a lot of his own stunts, but it’s not just a sales pitch, it’s something that really helps the film. CGI is great when you don’t notice it, but so many films rely on it to completely render crucial scenes. Not so here. It’s an expensive route to take but a worthwhile one.
The supporting cast return, notably Ving Rhames & Simon Pegg. The close knit trio of friends proves to be a winning formula and the three actors strike up a convincing on-screen “we’ve been through lots of shit together” relationship.
As to ‘newcomers’ Sean Harris plays a suitably creepy villain, and Rebecca Ferguson gets to run with an interesting character caught between spy agencies. Something about her pierces through the camera; when paired with Tom Cruise it’s almost too much Hollywood-good-looks to handle (just kidding there’s never too much of that). Jeremy Renner (who was in the previous film) is caught in a sort of no-man’s land, not quite doing Cruise’s job, but not really given his own thing to do.
The plot is a thin frame upon which to hang some cool action scene ideas. This is a shame because it means that the stakes are low; 50% of what makes a good action film is some sort of emotional investment with what is happening. Sometimes this even develops as the scene unfolds, like with John Wick. Mission Impossible V makes no such attempt to get us interested.
With the exception of the pretty terrible Mission: Impossible II this has always been a solid if ultimately underwhelming series of films. Rogue Nation is no different; it’s an entertaining, well-made action film let down by a poorly thought-out, unsatisfying storyline.

It's been a while since I saw 2, 3. 1 and 4 are fresh in my memory. That said, this is probably the best of the series.
And once again, great, this franchise just don't let me down. The plot, the action, the acting, great. Since the beginning is fast, interesting, and fun, the whole movie is a fun ride. The bike chase was the best, and that new character very good, and the way they work her background too, really liked it.
por favor me diga como assistir filme neste site.tem que assinar?,e gratuito?.tem manual,se tiver aonde encontro
Great action and story on this one. The grand break-in was also a great reminder of the first episode.
i don´t think i ever felt the real speed effect like i did on this movie on the bike chasing scene...
I enjoyed this movie quite a lot. I have to say though what I went because of the cast and not because it is Mission: Impossible. I love Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner and I got what I wanted. :)
It has been entertaining, the action does not decay and the action scenes are well
Well, there can be no denying that Cruise still has it, in spades! Too many stunts to think of, however, with plane, car and bike sequences to name a few there is something for everyone in this movie.
Favorite scene has to be the bike chase; that was truly brilliant.
All this said, truthfully Tom and the team are looking older now, as we all are, and maybe this should be the last with the crew... if MI is to come back again perhaps it should be with a new team of players.
Continuing the tone of the successful Brad Bird entry, Ghost Protocol, there isn't a stunt that quite matches the Dubai sequence - hanging Cruise outside a plane whilst impressive is a short teaser at the start of the film rather than having a whole sequence built around it. But the film itself is a lot of fun and it is interesting to see how the films have gradually brought back the team dynamic after the terrible first sequel. The strongest new element is a focus on the new female character within the film and Rebecca Ferguson is great. The film does a good job at keeping her background a mystery and whilst the plot becomes increasingly convoluted, it moves along at such a pace that these elements are easy to forgive. Despite the fun action sequences, however, after four sequels, they have yet to top De Palma's tension-filled sequence break-in of the CIA from the original.

A franchise that gets better with each installment, this was great, the set pieces were brilliant, and the team know exactly what works now, The Cruiser for me is the Postman, he always delivers!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this
