Mission: Impossible - Fallout (Movie Review)
It has been a long time ladies and gents but the Sane Loon is back with a movie review and we're getting back into this with an all-new blockbuster action movie. Tom Cruise is back with the Mission Impossible franchise for the sixth instalment and it's up to him and his crew to stop a global disaster. Again.
'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' brings Ethan Hunt & the IMF back to the fray of saving the world from those looking to bring about mass destruction to overthrow the current world order. In the previous instalment, he and his team took down the 'Sentinel', an anti-establishment organization that wanted to wreak nuclear attacks around the world irrespective of nation, religion or race. This time the nuke threat is back and after Hunt lost the radioactive materials in order to save his teammate Luther (Ving Rhames), it's on him to track them down again and put a stop to the nefarious plans of the terrorist individuals known as the Apostles.
Jeremy Renner does not return to the M:I franchise and instead we have Henry Cavill joining the fray as CIA's own super-soldier August Walker who is there to supervise Hunt's mission. Apart from Luther we also have our second favourite character in the series join the team: Benji (Simon Pegg) who is now a field agent and is finally out of the desk. Alec Baldwin is still the Secretary and guy running the IMF while Rebecca Ferguson is very much in the thick of the plot again as British Intelligence operative Ilsa Faust.
The enemy's plan involves the heinous villain Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) and the crew go about their usual business of violence and mayhem in order to complete the mission. Things get complicated when the leads get killed and suspicion begins to fall on Hunt as being the real bad guy under a secret identity. An interesting character addition in Mission: Impossible - Fallout was that of the sultry White Widow played by Vanessa Kirby who is an arms dealer under the guise of a philanthropist.
As the plot unfolds the storyline seems pretty straightforward and even the twists seem almost predictable to long-time fans of the franchise such as myself. But in terms of entertainment, it packs quite a punch even if some of the sequences seem to be stretched a bit too far. The action scenes and the cinematography is as expected from the Mission: Impossible brand and from Tom Cruise doing a lot of his own stunts. From running on rooftops to a car-chase with no background music, Mission: Impossible - Fallout can hold your attention for 90% of the action even when it goes to ridiculous extremes.
I'd rate this one 7 out of 10 snowcones. Thanks for reading, leave a comment and don't forget to subscribe to the blog for the latest updates.
