4) Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation
In an era where all that’s needed from an actor in an action movie is his face, such as Robert Downey Jr. literally having a movie at times built digitally around his mug, it’s good to see Tom Cruise insisting on practical action (mostly) and even doing many of his own stunts.
I don’t think that this is the best movie in the series, but it’s one of the better movies out this year.
Take the chase scene in Morocco, with a BMW (there are quite a few of those in this movie, hmm…) chasing high powered motorbikes. This is sublime action that you really shouldn’t miss and I am pleased to report that the usual ‘shaking cam’ diagnosis is good. Things happen. You see them happening.
M:I also has the humor thing down too.
