Review of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) by Mark F — 30 Jan 2016

I've really liked the previous two movies in this franchise so was hoping the standard would be kept high with this one. And it is. You're hooked right from the start with a jaw-dropping opening sequence which looks completely free of CGI, and a great but sinister twist on the iconic mission briefing.

From there, it's a fun rollercoaster and although there are plenty of twists and turns to keep the audience guessing, it stays coherent. There were more than a few improbable moments and the bad guys suffer terribly from an inability to shoot straight, but if you're ready to suspend your disbelief on occasion, it's a fun movie.

Also, Rebecca Ferguson is so hot. Just had to get that in there.
