Review of Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015) by Kyle M — 28 Jul 2018

Each Mission: Impossible film pushes more than the previous mission. The first "Mission: Impossible" was the update of the 60s' TV series that introduced the characters and their methods. Four years later, "Mission: Impossible 2" focused more on the action and was the first mission to push things up a bit, and it was also the first of the series becoming just Tom Cruise's extreme, action-packed vehicle. Six years later, "Mission: Impossible III" done a farther push with more thrills and a little more action whilst Emotionally balanced. Five years later, "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol" strengthen the aspectual combined push further. Now four years later, the latest mission "Rogue Nation" push it all the way to the point of challenging and twisting the traditional elements with unpredictable outcomes.

The position "Rogue Nation" put itself among the films is being the best when challenging what's been known and displaying the best of its ways of being entertaining. Before describing what kind of play it'd played, it's worth pointing out that this installment is a throwback to the second installment with similarities. The second installment was the least received of the series, but provided action sequences that were one of the respective genre's best. So as the latter was balanced with the action and small attention to the substance, the latest mission improves it with more excitement and thrills through the twists to the known style, otherwise inadvertently erasing it.

The way it was pushed was done with complex writing that was well-handled to make things such as the twists and quick action work, as well blending in some comic without losing concentration. With the concentration unbothered, thrills were resulted. But there's another source that fills those description that made this a great movie is the great cast, with the returning Cruise, Rhames, Renner and Pegg with the additions of Rebecca Ferguson and Alec Baldwin. The obvious standout is the driver himself, Cruise. His performance and stunts should get him recognized at least for a nomination for Best Actor as he felt the real adrenaline that channels him whilst performing. Also, give an Oscar contender to director Christopher McQuarrie as his direction helped the pushing as well.

"Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation" is the best Mission yet by pushing the style of the action and intelligent complexity writing to crack the limits to generate the thrills, excitement and occasional humor, and the cast performed well to stay at that level. Now, it's your mission, should you choose to accept it, to see this before it gets minimized for available viewings on smaller screens since the kind of scale this Mission has is a big-screen ride. (A+).
