I've only just noticed that what is really rogue about 'Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation' and the earlier movies in the 'Mission: Impossible' franchise is the placement of the colon. It makes no sense to me. Surely the colon should follow the word 'impossible'?
Anyway Tom Cruise is back performing impossible stunts and escaping from impossible situations under implausible and often impossible circumstances. The plot revolves around identity and for much of its considerable length the 'goodies' and the 'baddies' are skilfully disguised leaving the audience guessing.
Despite the obvious nonsense of many of the situations, the film is mostly entertaining and very slick.
★★★1/2
I saw this film and liked it too. As Spouse would say, "Its a fun summertime movie".
