With the IMF disbanded, Ethan and his team join forces with a disavowed British agent, who may or may not be a member of this rogue nation, as they must face off against a new network of highly skilled special agents, the Syndicate.

This is very fast paced and the action is great! The stunts in this movie feel so real -- I believe I've read that Tom Cruise performed much or all of them. The story line is pretty solid. Though there were 1-2 twists that felt expected. The ending was satisfying and I overall really enjoyed this movie. And I'm glad there wasn't a stupid romantic thing involved. The girl was pretty badass. The gadgets are really cool. I feel like the Mission Impossible movies are better than James Bond movies.

So much fun. Fantastic choreography and stunt work including possibly the fastest and most painful car chase ever, and a brutal and elegant knife fight. Long stretches of directorial brilliance and solid editing give you peeks into things you usually don’t see but never enough to ruin the pounce or the sting. Good story, great scoring and a wonderful new character in Ilsa. I accept.
Rogue Nation basically followed the blueprint laid out in Ghost Protocol. For instance there’s a big start with Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) hanging off the side of a plane with some levity provided by Benji (Simon Pegg). Then Hunt goes all over the world for some action packed scenes. The movie introduced a new set of bad guys called the Syndicate which would play out into the next movie Fallout as well. My favorite scene isn’t actually the climax but when Hunt and William (Jeremy Renner) confront the head of British intelligence (Simon McBurney) using deception with the added bonus of a speech by CIA Director Hunley (Alec Baldwin) who describes Hunt as a force of nature.

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.

*4 and a half out of 5*
The fifth entry in the series and the first of now current franchise director, Christopher McQuarrie’s instalments. Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation sees Ethan (Tom Cruise) and his team (Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg & Ving Rhames) and an undercover British agent (Rebecca Ferguson) take on their most impossible mission yet when they have to eradicate an international rogue organisation as highly skilled as they are and committed to destroying the IMF.
It really is rare for a franchise to be arguably keep improving as its sequel numbers get higher, however it truly is the case for Mission: Impossible from 3 onwards. Opening with one of the most memorable and jaw dropping stunts in the whole series before the opening credits have even rolled shows the sheer level of confidence, identity and audience understanding that the series has established now.
Going for a full on unique terrorist/espionage thriller and once again witnessing the potential fall of IMF. Focusing more on Ethan’s potential obsession with this lifestyle and his friends as they themselves can’t help but get avoid getting wrapped up in the journey. As mentioned before in this and my previous review for Ghost Protocol the franchise truly has established it’s tone and what it needs to do to constantly meet and exceed the audience’s expectations.
Said opening sequence is incredible and absolutely is a statement of intent, with Cruise strapping himself to the side of a plane and having it take off in real time, the camera positioning and movements are perfect for showing us the best angles for the most excitement and tension. The stealthy tense opera sniper fight is creative and nerve wracking with an excellent usage of diegetic music and set design. The underwater infiltration section is unique and once again sees Cruise actually having to hold is breath for a substantial amount of time in real life. The highlight though has to be car to motorbike chase sequence. An absolute triumph in capturing the essence of speed and nail biting tension, with thrilling choreography and camera positioning.
As expected by now Cruise gives his all and more. There is a reason why Ethan Hunt is probably his most iconic character. Pegg, Renner & Rhames once again deliver as his main team mates and friends. New franchise member Rebecca Ferguson does a brilliant job as the undercover British agent. She is cunning and stunning as she kick ass in many of her own action set pieces. Sean Harris is broods a subtle and imposing menace as the main antagonist and Alec Baldwin does a good job as the new Secretary.
Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation once again delivers the intensity, engagement, thrilling action and top performances as expected. Fully established in its tone, style and expectations. The highlight of the franchise so far.
I will start by saying that I am not a fan of the M:I movies. I caught the trailer for M:I Rogue Nation by accident online and tried it out on dvd first. If I was impressed enough, I would order the blu ray and of course, I was. The stunts and the chase sequences are brilliant, the motorcycle chase is amazing and there is an intensity about it that grips you and pulls you in. I have heard from a friend, who has seen them all, that they actually got better as they went on. For me personally, I think it's Rebecca Ferguson who adds something more to it. She nearly steals the show. I also understood that Fallout was the kind of sequel to this and it is also added and I ordered and saw that recently too. They do seem to be getting better. However, as good as M:I Fallout is, I do prefer Rogue Nation .

The second-best improvement I'd like to see made to the M:I films is to number them so I don't even have to try to remember the idiocies of any one in particular when trying to put them into order. The best improvement would be to somehow make it so that they had never been made at all.
Fast on going action with the crew with jaw dropping stunts that will have you on the move, Now with the C.I.A. shutting down their elite organization and corrupt syndicate run by traitors time is on the menu and ticking. Twist and turns that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat, so I rated this an A grade plus for the ideas, the actors performances plus storyline. Top cast and great movie what are you doing there still, where's the munchies and relaxing chair to rest in. This is my opinion only and I did enjoy this movie so the rest is up to you. Enjoy!

As usual, the producers have gone all out for another impossible mission and succeeded in their bid to outdo James Bond. I won't give away the plot, but he is almost outdone by the baddie who outthinks every move. Usual battery of fast-moving action and stunts while having to work 'off the grid'. Everyone is starting to look a little older, so he will have to train younger replacements soon.
