Ethan Hunt goes rogue again and bands together a rag-bag team to tackle another world changing problem, all he was short of this time was Vin Diesel and The Rock!
I must admit, the MI franchise is little hit and miss with me, I think the first Cruise outing is very slow, entertaining but slow, The Woo-Mask changing -Super hero-Dove Flying part two is bizarre, MI:III I have little memory of, and then there is the Dubai Sandstorm MI:IV which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was looking forward to this one though based on the trailers, more Benji, More Ving and loads more action.
With the syndicate, "an Anti-IMF" threatening global chaos, Ethan Hunt (who is thought to be making the syndicate up to justify the IMF) goes rogue and recruits the old faithfuls (from the last two films) to try and bring down the threat. Joined this time by double-double crosser Isla Faust (Rebecca Ferguson)
There are a few great action sequences, and the plane bit from the trailer is not a major plot spoiler. Once car/bike chase sequence is very entertaining, however it does rely a little too heavy on CGI at one point which really stands out and looks ridiculous. Ethan Hunt is a little indestructible in this film as he takes a few scrapes too many to survive, yet gets up and doesn't have a scratch on him, but hey-ho, it is MI.
The "Heist" is entertaining and suspenseful, but ruined by the trailer....and I was left questioning, "how do normal staff change the cards in the server?"
I left the cinema fulfilled with great entertainment and would happily watch MI:V Rouge Nation again, it seems like the franchise is going a little Fast and Furious now and I can only see a collaboration of Dom's rag-tag team and Ethan's Rogue Agents as the future project.
