Mission Impossible: Fallout

I was on vacation when this came out and I couldn’t wait to see this. This is one of those rare franchises that is getting better every time out. Tom Cruise, at age 54 continues to punish his body by doing every stunt himself and until he kills himself, I’m guessing he’ll keep going until his insurance runs out. He really is ageless. As for the movie, it’s pretty solid, if not too long. Clocking in at 2:27, the movie could use a trim, but the last reel is terrific and for those who don’t like heights, it’s especially thrilling. The movie is loaded with well choreographed action scenes which are all unique in itself. Plenty of plot twists and surprises to keep you interested during the slower portions of the film and there are a number of them. This franchise has always been pretty consistent with its delivery and as long as they want to keep making MI films, I’ll go see them.

Rating (***1/2)
