Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) by Axet — 30 Jul 2018
Finally some hope in the most dreadful summer yet at the movies with this unexpected best in the so-so series and on another level from the last installment which dopey critics at the time gushed over leaving no head room for this far and away better movie.
Top craft including an effective no nonsense music score, intense state-of-the-art conventional style photography that puts to shame the stupid shaky handheld cut to ribbons fad, an urgent timely for the world today (if nothing new) plot, solid supporting performances particularly in Henry Cavill (Who knew he could be so good after playing such a dull Superman?), and most of all the never for loss of conviction Cruise who is that very rare movie star who at once is capable of extreme super stunts playing in the most extraordinary fiction scenarios while still believably relating on a down to earth level make this all surprisingly convincing.
Had it clocked in 15-30 minutes shorter it would rate a 9 or 10 here, but longer running times are unfortunately the nonsensical in the age of shorter attention spans trend.
