Cinephile No. 525 “Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation”

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,
