While offering a different taste of the spy genre, the
Mission Impossible franchise is one that the viewing public is often quick to dismiss. No one gets that excited whenever the next movie is announced and its a shame because the
Mission Impossible movies are actually pretty good. If I had to give a few reasons why the movie isn't more anticipated I would say one is Tom Cruise and his ever troubling social life or the fact that the franchise itself is not a very memorable one. Its not marketed the way Marvel does its cinematic universe. Another reason could be because no one is not aware of the original source material. The
Mission Impossible movies are based off the old television show that existed way before I was born so the youth of today probably think this is an original idea when in reality it is a surprisingly good reboot of a popular television show. Last and not least if someone was to read online that the franchise constantly has a different director every film it might turn a viewer off. But what about the movie itself?
In short: it was good. Granted it is no
Fury Road but it does offer competition. If you were not into the gritty world of
Mad Max then you might enjoy the stunning sets offered in
Rogue Nation. The team of Impossible Mission Force( I.M.F.) lead by Tom Cruise's character Ethan Hunt venture around the globe to places like London, Vienna and Morocco all in the name of stopping terror. The terror in this case is a group called The Syndicate, an anti I.M.F. so to speak, lead by Solomon Lane, played by Sean Harris. Along the way Hunt is caught up in British Intelligence drama when he meets Illsa Faust, played by Rebecca Ferguson, who is a British spy that is deep undercover in the terrorist group.
Rogue Nation is a fun spy movie that offers a different tone than that of the Bond movies and has action sequences that will satisfy an action-spy junkie in the theater
Grade: A
