Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) by Merijn J — 10 Aug 2018

(95/100).

I initially didn't know what to think of this movie, I knew it was a damn good movie, but was it 4,5 stars or 5 stars. What pushed me over the edge of giving it 5 stars were definitely the action sequences, so let's talk about those. This movie has one of the most exhilarating and intense action sequences of the past decades. What you should know going into this movie is that Tom Cruise practically did all of his own stunts. The helicopter chase, the jumping over buildings, escaping on a motorcycle on a busy street, everything was Tom Cruise. The story too is phenomenal, Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) returning was a really good part of the continuity between these movies. The situations these characters are brought in and how they react to those situations is truly in there own character and all of it is executed very well. Some of the dialogue was a bit choppy and didn't feel right, talking about Angela Bassett here. But still, this is the perfect action movie and definitely one of the best action movies of the past decade. The soundtrack by Lorne Balfe is also excellent and feels so epic with so much tension for an action movie. The fight scenes and the choreography in them was also amazing, especially the bathroom fight, those punches look and feel real. The cinematography is also very good, Rob Hardy is really making a name for himself. Overall I just really loved this movie, please go see it.
