Review of Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018) by Mrmoviebuff — 16 Sep 2018

The best movie of 2018, so far. 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' is filled with more great stunt work from its lead, Tom Cruise, solid direction from Christopher McQuarrie, and some fantastic work from its supporting cast including; Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg.

Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) heads to Berlin to intercept three plutonium cores before the Apostles get there and sell them to John Lark. However, things turn around for the worst as Luther (Ving Rhames) is taken hostage, and Hunt chooses to save Luther's life leading the plutonium to be taken.

Ethan is then sent to Paris, where he is joined alongside agent August Walker (Henry Cavill), where they try to take back the plutonium. When things still don't go according to plan, as they cannot find the right enemy, they're given more tasks to try and track down the culprit.

What makes this movie exciting is both the stunt and camerawork. The action fills the movie with a sense of gravitas and you can feel every sense of danger, not just for the characters, but for the actors too.

The hand-to-hand fight scenes are practical, brutal and intense. No CGI gimmicks, no flashy choreography, just plain and simple work by a group of actors. It feels raw and intense. This is a movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat almost the entire time.

You will not believe your eyes when you see this picture.
