Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation
This was awesome. It’s not like we haven’t seen a car chase
through the Moroccan streets. And it’s not like we haven’t seen a fight in the
rafters while the opera is going on, but there’s just something better about
this. I think it’s the directing by Christopher McQuarrie. He’s not the most
experienced director, but he seems to care a LOT about where the camera is to
make sure we can follow the action and that nothing is disorienting. "Mad Max"
and "Mission Impossible" have made an old school return to continuity; a huge
relief when most action movies are so shaky and cutty that you can’t follow
what’s going on. There’s also a counter spy, played by Rebecca Ferguson, who
essentially steals the show right out from under Tom Cruise. She’s a badass and
never a damsel in distress, and either Cruise lucked-out by having her, or he’s
a genius for getting her. Either way, we all know that Tom is batshit crazy. It’s
all you can think when he’s clinging to the side of a plane mid-flight. But he
aims to please. And if movies are going to be $19, they better be worth the
money. This was.
