Review of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) by Spangle — 11 Aug 2015
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation does not reinvent the action spy thriller, but rather takes the best elements of the genre and uses them to great effect, Tom Cruise and Rebecca Ferguson have fantastic chemistry and both turn in top-notch performances.
Simon Pegg is also very good (and very funny) is a supporting role here, as is Jeremy Renner. Super stylish, the film truly does come to life in IMAX and look sleek and is beautifully shot. Above all, it is magnificently choreographed.
The action sequences are masterfully put together and look beautiful to the eye. As a an overall film, Rogue Nation is alright. As I said, it certainly does not reinvent the spy genre and uses many of the tried and true cliches along the way.
If it was not so wonderfully done, it would have been a lot less enjoyful due to this fact. However, as it stands, Mission: Impossible continues to be an impressively long lasting franchise in large part thanks to Tom Cruise's refusal to age.
