Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation
As previously said, there were big blockbusters which impressed with the twists and turns they made. Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is one of them, with a further adagio: it was one of the most fun rides of the year, which ones again proved that Tom Cruise is one of the biggest action movie superstars, even if he is well beyond his 50’s.
If we were to compare it with some other franchises, we’d say that Rogue Nation is the love child of James Bond and Fast and Furious. And that is because it is a spy movie with so over-the-top stunts that you cannot simply conceive that they were done in any other way than with CGI. But here is where you are wrong – it is all true (with a few minor alterations), from the intro scene in which Cruise hangs on a plane’s door to the (literally) breathtaking scene in which he holds his breath for 6 minutes or so.
This is the kind of dedications which isn’t encountered in many movies. And even if it was just for this reason, this movie would still be on our list. But it isn’t just because of that – as some reviewers said, this is the best spy action movie since Casino Royale, with a plot which (even if it rehashes similar tropes) can stand on its own against many others on this list.
