In fact, in one of the scenes where he’s on the bike with those super-duper shades, he literally takes you back to the Top Gun days. Tom Cruise, he is perfect, this man doesn’t look as if he has crossed his 50. Rogue Nation is one of those rarest commercial films that do not involve a last scene smooch in fact it is the only MI film to not feature a kissing scene! Simon, this time finds a meaty role with ample screen time and voluminous scope to prove him. Simon Pegg’s humor works big time, if there is one supporting actor who stands above the rest, it would be him. A car chase followed by a bike chasing sequence, scenes where the hero infiltrates a building and more such clichéd sequences, make MI 5, a stereotypical commercial flick but as the screenplay is airtight, people don’t think too much on that clichéd line. The director holds the momentum throughout not leaving it wander mid-way. The director Christopher McQuarrie has maneuvered his resources with utmost perfection to develop such a slick and fun spy espionage entertainer. Like any other spy films, MI 5 is also filled with some deceptive twists and betrayal which however may not be deceptive for some. The narration of the film doesn’t look to stagnate one bit, as the director keeps throwing in enough surprise elements one after another which is also layered with some riveting and pulsating action sequences for the audience to consume.
The movie wastes no time to get going, as it grabs the attention of the audience from the very word go. Though it is simple, the way it is narrated makes it look complex and dynamic. It features one of the better stories of the series. One might want to see the earlier installments of Mission Impossible before possibly watching this, since the film has connects with all the four previous editions and the core story jumps from where Ghost Protocol ends. Rogue Nation happens to be the fifth edition of the MI franchise, which runs close to 2 decades. Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation is the first of the two big spy espionage franchise films to release this year the other one being the 24th James Bond film, Spectre, which would hit the screens later this year.
