Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) by Polo J — 09 Aug 2018

The perfect Action film. That one summer blockbuster that manages to get you invested in the huge character roster in this big franchise, while also doing amazing stunts that, instead of just being there to show how capable the cast is, genuinely pushes the plot forward and just makes you even more interested, which has been a problem with past entries for me (doing stunts for the sake of doing it).

Experienced actors like Sean Harris, Ving Rhames, Angela Bassett and Alec Baldwin show even more diversity in these roles here, with Harris being a favorite of mine playing the intimidating, endlessly evil Solomon Lane, but every other actor is also very good, adding more humanizing qualities to their characters (Tom Cruise and Ferguson do an especially good job here).

Although Lane is as wicked as ever, the other villain "Lark", whose real identity you probably won't be shocked to see, manages to be a surprisingly sympathetic villain when you truly understand his motives, you might even agree with him somewhat.

Excellent, never has an action film had such interesting characters or in general been this good since 2015's Mad Max: Fury Road. Go watch this film NOW.
