Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) by Squeakz R — 27 Aug 2018

"Mission: Impossible - Fallout" is a marvel to the action genre which not only proved that any form of film can be hailed as a masterpiece, but also was a main catalyst in reforming the Academy's bias towards blockbusters.

While a Popular Film category might be a sorry excuse to exclude movies like this from the Best Picture category, it's a start. Nearly every action scene in this movie was perfectly executed. The biggest problem I have with many action movies such as this is that they have a hard time immersing people, at least the people I know, into the action.

I have a hard time grasping the stakes and how tense each moment is. However, this film not only immerses me into the action, it makes my heart race and forms goosebumps on my skin. During the skydiving scene, I legitimately felt as if I were tens of thousands of feet in the air.

I believe the gem of this film is the bathroom scene as each movement feels important. Each punch, kick, etc. knocks back characters and harms them, it's also just precisely choreographed and feels very well-paced, which I think is something most action scenes lack.

Overall, this movie is a masterpiece and everyone should see this film now!
