Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) by Ginak — 31 Jul 2018

Certainly this is not a terrible movie, but it is much too long. 90 minutes would have been fine, but add an hour of Ethan running and repetitious car/motorcycle/helicopter chases and things get pretty dull.

It doesn’t help that it’s obvious that a computer has been used to speed up the “Run, Ethan, Run. Run, Run, Run” sequences. The actors are quirky, Paris and London are nice for car chases, but anybody who has been to these cities knows that it is impossible to drive that fast unless a movie crew has paid to stop traffic early Sunday morning.

I’ve seen this kind of thing done before many times – and done in more interesting ways in, for example, Bourne movies. If a lot of the padding had been cleverly cut out of this film, it would have been a whole lot better overall.
