About this movie

Loaded with heart-pounding action and jaw-dropping stunts, prepare for the best Mission ever. With his elite organization shut down by the CIA, agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his team (Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames) race against time to stop the rise of a new global threat, The Syndicate, a dangerous network of rogue operatives turned traitors. To stop them, Ethan must join forces with an elusive, disavowed agent (Rebecca Ferguson) who may or may not be on his side as he faces his most impossible mission yet.

Ratings and reviews

Someone has decided it was time for the Mission Impossible franchise to start shedding its cerebral essence and go instead for the physical show à la Bond, with the usual car (and bike) chases, big explosions and even an international villain. One surprise: Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson, who often times steals the show from Cruise. I wish, though, that Mission Impossible would stick to what it was and leave Bond alone.

I found this to be the worst film of the series. The acting, plot, and character development were all pretty poor. You can even sense the discomfort in certain actors during scenes where the dialogue is exceptionally terrible. Overall I was pretty disappointed and would recommend saving your money if you get around to reading my review.

I was expecting another action copy pasta secret agent movie, but this was like what the best bond film has ever aspired to be, and greater than any mission impossible movie ever was. FANTASTIC! Camera work was masterful, action planning genius. pacing perfect. I loved the acting. Humor was at exactly the correct level to avoid being clownish but keep everything light, but still believable and not out of place. Great fight choreography. I am pretty astounded the filmmakers and all involved were able to make the right choices and studio execs were not able to force them to action shlock it-- exceptional job!
