Cinephile No. 525 “Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation”

Reviews
Written By Nathan Box

There isn't an Oscar category for Stunt Choreography, but "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation" will make you believe there should be. Gripping tightly onto a moving/flying plane, holding his breath underwater for 6 minutes, stunt driving a BMW, racing in and out of traffic on a motorcycle… these are just some of the stunts performed by Tom Cruise in this version of the “Mission Impossible” franchise. With every adaptation, the stunts become more challenging and Cruise seems more willing to try something new. While the plot could have used some beefing up, you won’t mind. You’ll be too busy being in awe at what you just saw happen.


Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
