Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015)

Tom Cruise proves once again that he's a blockbuster star like no other, giving his all in the action here, whether it's attaching himself to a plane, jumping in a chasm of water or riding a bike through the desert

I really like Tom cruise as an actor ,so saw movie with high exceptions . The plot and action sequence is really good , but in between it got cliched and boring at climax. The best captivating scene is when Ethan goes into the vault to deactivate electronic security by changing keycard. Overall the movie is #masala plus #guiltyPleasure for the fans

Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is a film co-written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie. After the exciting 4th instalment, I was pumped up for this one. And it again just delivers spot-on.

Plot: Ethan Hunt and his IMF team are against a rogue organisation, termed as the Syndicate who would wipe anyone out of their way to achieve their objective.

Story and direction: Chris McQuarrie and Drew Pearce (co-writer) infuse their new and vibrant energy into this franchise because of which it never feels old or run out of fuel. The story is very impressive and I liked the way the film covered the previous 4 installments. I would not be wrong saying that this film was teased during the last moments of the last part. I think the makers were going in for an arc spanning 2-3 films. But that doesn’t mean the film doesn’t stand on its own. It does and very beautifully. There are certain characters that are stretched and explored more which I liked. Even the new characters don’t seem disposable and bring a lot to the film. The action scenes are just great and never feel over the top (especially the car and bike chase set in Morocco). The VFX of the film also does wonders and adds to the beauty of the film. The music by Joe Kraemer impresses on various levels. The cinematography and editing are top-notch. The film faltered only on one aspect: the climax. Normally, I do expect the M;I finale to be a big blast and full of tension creating adrenaline moments. But here I felt the film was going the expected way and I wasn’t surprised. It felt very ordinary. Maybe FALLOUT will explain those events.

Performances: Tom Cruise is as usual in his best and gives a great performance. His dedication to his work and especially towards the action scenes is always felt. Jeremy Renner contributes to the film in his own special way. I liked Simon Pegg’s character being more dramatic than of a comic relief. Rebecca Ferguson brings in new energy to the films and I can’t wait to see her in FALLOUT. So does Alec Baldwin. Sean Harris’s portrayal of Solomon Lane was kind of different and I liked the way he was characterized.

Favorite Scene: It would be the one where Benji confronts Ethan about Ethan sending him back to DC and Benji saying that he should be with Ethan since they are a team. This has an effect on me as it showed a different side of Benji which I never expected. Also, shown so beautifully is Ethan’s concern for others.

Verdict: ROGUE NATION has added another fun-filled, action-thriller ride to the M: I Series. I had a fun time with the entire series. Just waiting for FALLOUT to come. Can’t wait for it.

I am going with a 9/10.

Enjoyable time-pass roller coaster ride of an action film. The one stunt with Tom Cruise on the outside of the plane is truly incredible. I loved that Simon Pegg had a much larger role, because I adore him, and the English actress was quite good. The other thing I liked was the use of Nessun Dorma throughout the score from the Opera Turandot. There is a dramatic fight backstage at the Vienna opera house during that aria, and then the music motif repeats at several points later in the movie. Since it means "No one sleeps tonight" it was very appropriate.
