Action and Beyond!
27 July 2018
The sixth installment in the Mission: Impossible film series, 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' is an exhilarating action roller-coaster, that is worth every penny & minute of yours. It is quite simply, the most tense & action-packed MI film to date, that is sure to leave you spell-bound by its pure rush!

'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' Synopsis: Ethan Hunt and his IMF team, along with some familiar allies, race against time after a mission gone wrong.

Action films come and go, but 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' takes the Action Genre ahead with ferocity. No Kidding, this Action-Spy affair offers spectacular Action from the word go. Be it the hand-to-hand combat, or mesmeric car chases or even helicopters flying up and above, this film has it all. I was left awe-struck & felt richly rewarded all through the film. Clearly, 'Fallout' has taken the action level way up & hence, only the MI Series have to top themselves, here-on.

Writer-Director Christopher McQuarrie's motive is simple: Leave the Action buffs overwhelmed. And he does! While his Screenplay moves on a fast-pace, despite its wafter-thin plot, its the action here that's the mainstay of the enterprise. McQuarrie's Direction is an Action-Packed dream, where its bad-ass leading-man races, chases, flies & bashes up the baddies, with much glory.

A special mention & respect for the extraordinary Action-Sequences, that have been envisioned, choreographed & executed, astonishingly. Each & Every punch is effective to the core! Clearly, the stunts & the aggression are the soul of the film. Hats Off!

The Cinematography by Rob Hardy captures all the action & carnage to stupendous effect. Eddie Hamilton's Editing is razor-crisp. Art & Costume Design are efficient. Lorne Balfe's Score is superb.

Performance-Wise: Tom Cruise roars as Ethan Hunt! The 56-year old Superstar oozes energy & charisma from start to end. Its a delight to watch him take on the bad-guys once again & give them their desserts. Ving Rhames & Simon Pegg are lovable, yet again. Rebecca Ferguson does a stellar job. Sean Harris continues to be a strong, conniving villain. Henry Cavill is fair. Alec Baldwin & Angela Bassett make brief, but arresting appearances. Vanessa Kirby is first-rate. Michelle Monaghan is perfect. Others lend support.

On the whole, 'Mission: Impossible - Fallout' is an Action Extravaganza! It has Blockbuster written all over it! Grab a ticket now!

And yes, Mad Maxx: Fury Road has finally found its competitor. And that's no small achievement.
