With Ghost
Protocol and Rogue Nation, I finally became a fan of the Mission: Impossible
series, it has a good story-telling engine, allowing for some interesting
plot-lines, the main cast are generally well developed and the action is among
the best film can offer, in part due to Tom Cruise putting his life on the
line, doing his various stunts personally.
Mission
Impossible Fallout, the 6th entry in the series keeps things going
strong with a $791m box office haul on a $178m budget and, even more
impressively a 97% Rotten Tomatoes rating. There was a mishap on set where
Cruise broke his leg during a stunt, all the crew had to be paid during his
recovery time, upping the budget. He actually came back to set a week early,
he’s either deeply committed or crazy, probably both.
