**_When the impossible mission becomes implausible overkill_** My first plunge into this popular Tom Cruise franchise was the original 1996 movie, which I saw five years ago. It’s a quality spy/caper flick with the expected convoluted dialogues, espionage gadgets, high society galas, foggy cobblestone streets, sudden deaths, globetrotting, double agents, capers and mind-blowing action. It was just too tortuous for my tastes with not enough human interest, not to mention hampered by the several occasions where a person's fake face is torn off à la Scooby-Doo. So, I jumped ahead 22 years to this 2018 installment since it’s the most popular film in the series, the sixth one, in fact. Once again, the cast and filmmaking are topnotch augmented by lots of action, such as the early pristine restroom bruhaha in Paris. It’s thrilling, sure, but the Asian antagonist effortlessly ripping a pipe from underneath a sink was a bad sign. I could see him doing that if he was a cyborg or drank the super soldier formula but, no, he’s just a regular human being proficient at martial arts. Then there’s the wild melee at a posh nightclub involving The White Widow (Vanessa Kirby) wherein the participants nonchalantly discuss business in the backroom 2 minutes afterward without a bead of sweat and none the worse for wear. Why Sure! Do I need to go into how the team miraculously defuses three nuclear bombs in the climax? Obviously the creators have upped the ante in each film to the point where the goings-on can only be described as complete detachment from reality. It’s like watching a live-action Road Runner cartoon for 2½ hours. Um, no thanks. GRADE: C-/D+

Now this is a much better outing for our IMF pals - much sharper pace and direction than the meandering "Ghost Protocol". This one sees "Ethan" (Tom Cruise) with "Luther" (Ving Rhames) and the still frequently irritating Simon Pegg ("Benji") having to track down some plutonium balls after an earlier mission went a bit awry, and before lunatic ecologist Sean Harris ("Solomon Lane") commits an atrocity to end all atrocities in the name of creating a new world order! The first twenty minutes are poor; predictable and formulaic and I will admit to having started to write it off, Once Henry Cavill ("August Walker") joins the gang, however, and they start to search for the missing cores it becomes fast-moving, action-packed and enjoyable - with plenty of crosses and double-crosses. Rebecca Ferguson still always comes across the same, whomever she plays, but that works for this one and the team spirit really comes across. Sure, it isn't going to win a Booker for the writing, but it travels the world showing off some fine locations (many of which are actually left intact, afterwards!!) before heading to an exciting denouement with helicopters and Cruise's favourite mountain-top pinnacle combat. All good stuff.

They just keep getting better, but they never get good. _Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

I have to say I have not been a great fan of the Mission Impossible movies. Sure, there’s plenty of action and cool stunts but I do not feel they follow the spirit of the TV-show. In the TV-show they got their mission and then they completed it, tricking the bad guys, with the full backing of the IMF team. No political bullshit, betrayal of the team and such like nonsense. However, in pretty much every movie Ethan or the entire IMF team was betrayed or set up and he had to, not only complete his mission but, clear IMF from whatever shenanigans the story writers had dreamed up. The movies have been Mission Impossible in name only. I wonder if the moron script writers has ever watched the show. In this movie too there is indeed a bunch of political nonsense and betrayal. Shit that I could be without. But at least IMF and Ethan’s team are on his side throughout the movie. There are also a few clever parts where they trick the bad guys in a good old fashioned Mission Impossible style. Otherwise the movie is mostly a classical Hollywood action adventure/thriller movie. Plenty of, more or less, non stop action. There are a few of the usual WTF story holes and defiance of physics when it comes to the stunts of course. The dumbass CIA director was a completely unnecessary element though. Still, overall I found this installment in the franchise to be one of the better ones. Maybe even the best one yet.

Excellent story line with tremendous stunts by Tom Cruise himself. This movie is worth every penny that you spend.
