Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation [Blu-ray] [Region Free]

I have been rewatching the MI movies since seeing the latest, The Last Reckoning. They have not disappointed, just as this one, Rogue Nation, has been a blast to watch. I always enjoy the twist and turns and the way they are able to cary on the, well, impossible. What I especially like is that even though Ethan Hunt is apparently indestructible, he almost always comes near so if not for the several helps he get from both ally and the unexpected.

I am not a big fan of Tom Cruise the man.But I have to admit that I really like his movies.And when you add Rebecca Ferguson to the mix, "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation" is an absolute winner.Cruise rarely gets to show what a skilled actor he really is since most of his roles- especially lately - are more physical than intellectual but that's not really a drawback in my opinion: He is brilliant when it comes to action movies and the fact that he does most of his own stunts only adds to their appeal. That's true in this film, which could almost be accused of being a James Bond clone with its worldwide criminal/terrorist organization attacking anyone and everyone and a beautiful heroine who is a crack shot, an expert knife fighter, and martial artist. Ferguson, as Ilsa Faust, is a delight to watch and a perfect complement to Cruise's generally low-key portrayal of IMF agent Ethan Hunt. Cruise and Ferguson work well together and I would love to see them in a subsequent film.Mission Impossible regulars Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames, and Jeremy Renner are back and do a wonderful job in supporting roles as does franchise newcomer Alec Baldwin as the director of the CIA. Sean Harris, as head of the terrorist organization Solomon Kane, is very good in the role in which he matches Cruise's understated menace with his own soft-spoken villainy.Great action sequences - including a spectacular motorcycle chase - and excellent fight scenes - especially Ferguson's knife duel with Jens Hulten as bad guy Janik Vinter - make this a must see for anyone in the mood for a pulse-pounding, adrenaline-fueled night at the movies.

Have to continue the series

My husband and I recently became obsessed with the mission impossible series. This was a really fun watch, good deal for rental.

Good movie my husband like it a lot

This is the most exciting movie in the Mission Impossible Series. You can't take your eyes off the screen for a second because you will miss something truly amazing. The addition of Rebecca Ferguson as Isla Faust throws an interesting mix into the plot and cast of characters. She keeps you guessing as to which side she is on. The main threat the Mission Impossible Team is fighting is a rogue group called the Syndicate who is just as skilled as the Mission Impossible team. The Syndicate has some very dangerous plans the the IMF has to shut down but of course it is hard to find members of The Syndicate. Ethan Hunt and Isla Faust do this dance where Isla gives him some clues but then disappears and acts in a way that confuses Ethan, not just the viewers. The stunts are out of this world in this movie. It is worth seeing the movie just for the stunts. Almost everyone has seen the previews where Tom Cruise is attached to the outside of a plane. Yes, Tom really did do this stunt. Another amazing stunt is where Tom holds his breath in a tank for several minutes while accomplishing a task important to the mission. Alec Baldwin is a nice addition as Alan Hunley of the CIA. He wants to shut down the IMF. Simon Pegg is back and is so funny. The rest of the team is back too such as Jeremy Renner and Ving Rhames. The rapport the team has together is so much fun to see. One really fun scene is where Tom is driving a car at high speeds and Simon Pegg is in the car and the dialogue between the two is hilarious. A scene in court where Alan Hunley tries to make a case for shutting down the IMF is pretty funny too as Ethan and the team come up with answers that defy Hunley at every turn. If you love Tom Cruise and action packed movies, you must see this movie.

MOVIE WORTH GREAT RENTING!

Cruise doesn't disappoint
