Mission Impossible: Fallout

Actors: Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Sean Harris, Michelle Monaghan, Alec Baldwin, Henry Cavill, Vanessa Kirby, Angela Bassett
Rating: 10 out of 10, Tom Cruise’s latest IMF mission actually does accomplish the impossible. It injects new life into a sixth sequel and I rarely use the word epic for this type genre but it certainly fits. The story is completely implausible but that is, of course, why the IMF team is needed. This time they’re chasing plutonium around the world and causing no end of traffic mishaps in Paris which must have sent insurance rates skyrocketing. Superman is along in a rare villainous turn which he handles adroitly. The movie also brings back some of the most beloved characters from earlier movies to either complete, or continue, their arcs. This was most notable in Rebecca Ferguson the only woman capable of keeping up with Ethan Hunt. I loved the movie with relentless action, characters you can invest in, and climatic scenes that will cause acrophobic fainting spells.
MVP: Cruise continues to own Ethan Hunt, surprisingly effective despite his diminutive size
