“Don’t be too late or too hard” is our mission. It is a perfect substitute for Mission: Impossible blockbuster cinema adventure that has been going on for almost 20 years. As a big fan of the original TV series of the 1960s, I obviously did not warm up the first three films. But at the end of the fourth and fifth episodes, I am happy that the source series is successful in combining the team spirit and the spy / intrigue mood as well as the modern mega budget Hollywood action template.
The fifth episode was shot after the success of Our Mission Danger 4, Brad Bird’s first real-acting film, inspired by the spy, action and sci-fi entertainments of the 50s and 60s in the enormous animations he created. Mission Impossible – Rogue Nation is the episode that captures the balance that I mentioned above in the most enormous way.
On the one hand, there is an action fun filled with expertly reworked chase and conflict scenes that enjoy delightful stunts and the real effects as much as possible than using CGI, the leading star of the series. Speaking of Cruise’s crazy stunts, Cruise, who really climbed the tallest building in the world in the fourth movie, decided to cling to an airplane taking off from this time. I am afraid that if this series finds the seventh, eighth movie, Cruise will be in his seventies and will release Space without the astronaut costume just to push the boundaries of the action cinema.
On the other hand, a spy thriller that uses ingenious tricks of hidden robberies and tricks to keep the audience excited at all times takes an equal position within the duration of the film rather than giving priority to action sequences. In this way, both the expectations of the audience who want to watch action with Tom Cruise are met, and the audience, who loves the original series, who wants to watch a smarter spy movie, is satisfied that the scenario is not used to bring the scenes with pure explosion to the scene.
Super spy Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his team, who have succeeded in destroying the world and destroying thousands of terrorist organizations, fight the toughest enemies in the fifth movie: the American bureaucracy. CIA chief Hunley (Alec Baldwin) does his best to close Hunt’s ultra secret spy organization IMF because of his reckless and anti-authority history. This problem came at the most inconvenient time for the IMF, because a mysterious terrorist organization called Syndicate, consisting of ex-agents, acting as an anti-IMF in a way, tries to get rid of many spies, including Hunt. Losing the support of the US state, Hunt decides to sneak up his old team and go after Syndicate.
Mission: Impossible movie series preferred the star power of Cruise to the series-based structure of the series in the first episodes. Therefore, these films could not go beyond the Bond-style prodigal action, but only by name, our Mission was Danger. This problem was most pronounced in the second movie by John Woo. What I love about the fourth and fifth episodes is that they bring back the team spirit I mentioned, and the script uses the advantages and weaknesses of each character, including Hunt, wisely. The harsh and serious agent Luther (Ving Rhames), who has been around since the first movie, is brought together with the late agents of the series, hacker Benji (Simon Pegg) and Brandt (Jeremy Renner), who took care of the IMF’s bureaucratic sides, Kind of Mission Danger creates a dream team.
Mission: Impossible has been a bit behind the modern world for some time when it comes to female heroes. For example, in the second film, it seems to me that the single female character has the duty of sleeping with the bad guy throughout the entire script. In the end of the series with Rogue Nation, a woman agent as courageous and talented as Cruise puts the story in the story. The mysterious agent Ilsa, who gasped from Rebecca Ferguson’s femme fatale style charismatic performance, is perhaps the biggest trump card in this new episode with her character, enormous physicality and brutal fighting technique.
Transitioning from screenwriting (Ordinary Suspects) to writer / director, Christopher McQuarrie showed that he knew how to use Cruise’s unique movie star mood by directing Jack Reacher. Working with a larger budget and story this time, McQuarrie manages to create some of the series’ most memorable action sequences. A thrilling assassination scene in the Vienna Opera and a fast motorcycle chase scene in Morocco excite them because they are often filled with real images rather than computer effects. McQuarrie creates a blockbuster that entertains the movie to the end by not putting it on a single marketing number.
