Mission: Impossible - Fallout (DVD) [2018]

With the mouthful that is Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning - Part One out. Here is a rundown of the previous big screen installments, that are based on the brilliant sci-fi espionage show of the 60s.Mission: Impossible.The one where if actual did watch the 60s TV show, you would know that Jim Phelps would never behave in the way he did here.Brian DePalmer's Direction is solid and this is a really enjoyable first movie to this ongoing franchise. It does have an extremely unbelievable 3rd act, as a helicopter follows a train into tunnel, but as we will discover these films will continue attempt to make the Impossible seem possible...its in the title after all.Mission: Impossible 2.The one where Ethan Hunt, played by Tom Cruise, grows his hair, fights alot in slow motion and falls in love with a criminal. Meanwhile some terrorists want to do something bad with a virus.MI2 is the most stylistically different of the franchise and it is probably not as bad as you remember.John Woo's Direction is slick in a 90s pop video kinda way.Mission: Impossible 3.The where the series falls into its formulaic stride.Ethan Hunt, once again with short hair but missing his love interest from film 2, has stopped working in the field and has gained a fiance and the form of Julia Meade, played by Michelle Monaghan. He is forced to return to active duty, gets his team together, blah! blah! blah! something about a ruthless arms dealer.J. J. Abrams directs and humour is sprinkled throughout for flavour. This is now the template for the following movies.Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol.Ok, it's all getting a bit samey now, but don't be put off.Ethan *I think we're on first name terms now* with hair longer than in films 1 and 3, but not as long as 2, is in prison. He is helped to escape by Benj, played by Simon Pegg, who is now the new comedy field agent. The IMF team have to save the world from some nuclear shenanigans. But they have all been wrongfully blamed for the bombing of the Kremlin, making the job very difficult if not impossible.Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation.Some of the team return, some don't, with some new faces added whom may or may not be trustworthy. There must be some serious trust issues in the IMF team by now!Anyhoo! Sean Harris plays the deliciously creepy Solomon Lane the head of SPECTOR, sorry I meant the Syndicate. Lane has dropped out of MI6 to do some sort of Thanos thing.The good thing is that no matter how silly these movies get, they do seem to improve as the series progresses.Mission: Impossible - Fallout.Some uranium cores go missing in a typical IMF bungle, but mostly because of Ethan Hunt's kind heart. So the team have to retreave them.Solomon Lane returns as creepy as ever, but this time Ethan must exchange Lane for the uranium or something like that anyway?At this point the action is so fast and furious *pun intend* that you are on the edge of you seat by the end.Superman pops up sporting a moustache for some reason?Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning - Part One....light the fuse....

Excellent story

Perfect for adding to our collection

Being a big Mission fan I always look forward to the next film release and was not disappointed with this, the latest film. Plenty of action and a great story line makes this not only a great film but also a great addition to the series.

Fast delivery excellent condition tom cruise well he is amazing as usual in this movie. What's not to like?

There is only one problem with these Mission Impossible films..to quote The Joker as played by Jack Nicholson."Where does he get these wonderful toys!" So putting that to one side,and assuming that Ethan and Luther have access to a huge C.I.A CACHE OF ALL THE LATEST TECH GOODIES.Lots of action,double triple crossing ,some humour and re appearance of Ethan's wife.Safe to say the Impossible Mission team save the day..and shock of shocks Ethan is actually shown recovering in a hospital in a pretty banged up state at the end...None of the dusting himself off,and carrying on seemingly unhurt.Usual cast ably assisted by Henry (Superman ) Cavill as a C.I.A bad guy..well he's got a beard so they should have knownSo good heart racing romp.But lose the rubber masks for gods sake..

great film

Great film, we enjoyed watching it.
