Mission Impossible the Rogue Nation hits the ground running. Which is a supreme achievement. The franchise is so well established that a build up can be dispensed with, simultaneously every movie, specifically this movie of the series is admirably self contained so that new audience doesn't feel obligated to brush up on the previous installments.
Tom Cruise is still more than a nostalgia number. He is valid superstar to helm a viable movie. This action persona has helped him to stay in the game and the persona itself got enriched by his years in front of the camera. He comes off as seasoned agent, wise and weary for his experience. Charisma and stamina both look intact. Stories about him doing the stunts himself apart, he is believable and is able to convey skill and amusement in equal measure.
Team is top notch specially the female lead (Swedish actress Rebecca Ferguson) and Sean Pegg a perfect Watson. Story has sufficient suspense and shadow areas so characteristic to the series. Action lives up to the hype and the movie delivers. An enjoyable and movie that fulfills the genre expectation without looking dated.
