If the first four races were organized by different creative teams, with storylines that had no connection other than the task force (with slight changes in membership, but after Simon Peg's accession, things were definitely changed for good), then Christopher McQuarrie has worked differently since 2015. In addition to continuing and developing the Criminal Nation, he is the first director to work on two films in the series, and as if he had been able to break even deeper into the film spy network and get out of there several curious threads. I'm far from thinking that "Mission Impossible: Failure" is a good movie - let's not give up recklessly high ratings!
Almost from the very beginning, I was struck by the feeling that McQuarrie and Cruise had seated with a few models - on a motorcycle, on a helicopter, on a few cars, in front of a 5 to 5-meter gaming field, outlining the perimeters of Paris, London and Kashmir have begun to calculate where it is most appropriate to do: the chase of the bikes - in Paris's intense traffic, furious speed is expected back to the Arc de Triomphe; the big run of Benjy's guidance - on the roofs of London - should show how Tom is to get a little humor and unusual locations ; the most intense moments are left for helicopters, in a natural setting - bold angles, wind in the hair, an absolutely appropriate introduction to the final battle. So, once the most important moments around the "game" of the big Ego, you can look for some stuffing stuff to fill the story and give it some commercial species. Details have been added about the syndicate terrorist organization, owned by three nuclei of (potential) future atomic bombs, the construction of which is aimed at anarchists, led by mysterious mediators and Solomon Lane, already known and coerced in the previous series, has been snatched out of the cells and cast as a rag doll, mostly by Hunt's team, in order to get eternally slippery terrorists.
And here we need to pay more attention to the extra emphasis that guarantees the added value of this franchise episode - from the very beginning at Eaton's neck breathing the higher, more complex and (let's admit the truth) a handsome agent placed in the secret operation directly by a CIA super-boss. Even with August Walker's ridiculous whiskers, Henry Cavill is doing pretty well with the task of being a "runner-up" to Mr. Cruise . Unless we count one or two situations and serious twists and turns that were so obvious, expected, and ridiculous that they were causing a serious face-palm, the overall presentation of the CIA preference "hammer" turned out to be fresh inclusion and enjoyable diversity in the next "MI" - the adventure. Apparently, the producers have judged that, and that's why Cavillos is currently exporting (almost) all of the movie's advertising campaign - it's easier to sell something with a beautiful smile and British charm rather than rely on a tedious star that has reached a certain age and weight. While it may be possible to argue over age - as colleagues from the "operating" team have shared, we have serious suspicions that Tom Cruise is inhabiting another time stream. The longer the years go, the fewer (visible) the traces of his appearance and the more serious his adrenaline bias becomes. It is clear that the stubbornness of his stubbornness of performing his own stunt numbers provokes at least a few micro insights with his insurance agents each and every time a new "Mission" is taken, but in this case it is important to pay attention again to the fact , that the action-segments are shot in a real environment, not on some-my-you-there-green screens that are capable of eliminating any realism! So at least it will be clear that if someday Tom Cruise broke his neck (but really!) It would have been in the name of cinema, live action and ... his big Ego.
It's not that Mission Impossible once claimed something more serious, but perhaps (naively) it seemed to us, in some better times when directorial responsibilities were borne by Brian de Palma or J. J. Abrams. In the sixth part, Cruise has found his "master" and this master has found a suitable mad star to tie each other to the wits ... and play successfully at the cinema.The movie is a real cliche! At such times, I am consoled by the thought that in 2018 Cannes was closed with a film by Terry Gilliam, and in Venice they will discover with a film by Damian Schaazel, which means there is still (some) justice...
