Movie Reviews
You would think that after five films this would have become a tired premise, but the way that it
takes on the spy genre as both an intelligent espionage thriller as well as a big-budget blockbuster
makes it even better than the new James Bond films.
It's exciting, slick, cool and fun, but this series, most of all in this film, has got an amazingly
inexhaustible energy to it that makes it so brilliant.
Let's start, then, with the main attraction of this film: the action. Simply, it's stunning. There are
five separate big action sequences here, each lasting around ten minutes more or less, and they
are all high-octane thrill-rides that never let up and make this such an entertaining film.
Tom Cruise proves once again that he's a blockbuster star like no other, giving his all in the
action here, whether it's attaching himself to a plane, jumping in a chasm of water or riding a
superbike through the desert (in what was, in my opinion, the greatest, most exhilarating car
chase ever).
On that note, actually, the incredible bike chase is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the
great action, but credit has to go to director Christopher McQuarrie for excellently turning this
into a good-looking and intense action thriller, using great camera work (avoiding shaky cam) to
make it so brilliantly entertaining.
Away from the stunts, this film has still got a very good plot to it. There are few blockbusters that
couple great action and intelligent storytelling nowadays, but this really bucks that trend, because
it's absolutely enthralling to follow from start to finish.
There are betrayals and deceptions galore in this spy thriller, as well as a genuinely exciting
climax, which is so unpredictable that it makes you forget about the generic plots of the less
successful films and be properly engrossed in the current story.
Finally, this is also a very nice film to look at, thanks both to McQuarrie's direction, as well as the
beautiful sets and landscapes that this is set in all over the world.
From the mesmerising desert of Morocco to the foggy alleys of London, this is a global journey
that goes even further than the previous films, and comes out with a stunning result, the best of
the series in my opinion!
