Review of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) by Mazmorrero47 — 01 Aug 2015

Overall, a pretty good summer flick that achieves to entertain, but also devoid of surprises and full of spy thriller cliches like the MacGuffin, the cheesy European henchman, the time bomb, etc. The stunts are awesome as you've come to expect from an M:I film, there are some beautiful locations, and Mr.

Cruise never fails to deliver. But it's hard to feel worried about Ethan Hunt when he's basically Superman without the red cape. Remember when he was being mercilessly tortured psychologically and physically by Philip Seymour Hoffman in M:i:III, or when he looks terrified because a terrorist is in control of a nuclear missile in Ghost Protocol? That vulnerability is gone.

Another notorious problem is the ending. It was too abrupt, since it didn't give proper closure to the characters and felt too small in comparison to the rest of the film. Perhaps I'm being too harsh, but after Mad Max: Fury Road and Cruise's Edge of Tomorrow, Rogue Nation does feel a bit underwhelming.

Rebecca Ferguson is the main reason the movie is worth watching, I hope we get to see her in more films.
