You don’t escape from the rage of a volcano by standing still, you cannot avoid the avalanche by staring deep into the bleak white void as it hurtles towards you; and you don’t get to ignore the latest offering from the Mission Impossible franchise by declaring that it doesn’t appeal as an action film just because it is fronted by Tom Cruise.

Mission Impossible: Fallout. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Sean Harris, Angela Bassett, Vanessa Kirby, Michell Monaghan, Alec Baldwin, Wes Bentley, Frederick Schmidt, Liang Yang, Kristopher Joner, Wolf Blitzer.

The more the series goes, the bolder, more intricate, daring, it arguably gets, if played out right, the ideas keep coming, the bond between the actors grows stronger and like a team that has ascended the same mountain range every year, the more sure-footed they become, the more trust there is between the cast.  In Mission Impossible: Fallout that trust not only shows, it is indomitable, even with the new addition of the excellent Henry Cavill coming into the series as the C.I.A. hitman and enforcer August Walker.

When the last Mission: Impossible film was released there would arguably have been many that silently sobbed into their pillow throughout the night after having watched it and who would vow silent vengeance should the world see a fifth instalment of the seemingly well past, over worn, near threadbare series of films.
