For the eighteenth film of the month we have Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation

First off, we have the story which has the IMF disbanded and Ethan Hunt and his team on a mission to take down the mysterious "Syndicate" who have plans for establishing a new world order. I thought the story was another thrilling hit in the franchise and it continues to get better.

Next, we have the characters which overall, I thought were well acted and the chemistry between the team was the best it has been with a good balance of comedy and drama to give them that chemistry especially in the situation they find themselves in. The best performances were from Tom Cruise as Ethan and Simon Pegg as Benji. 

As for the film's visuals I thought it looked the best it has ever been with well performed camerawork during the set-pieces to fast paced action that gave the film it's urgency. Now we have the action which i thought was thrilling and the chase sequences throughout were some of the best of the entire franchise in terms of camerawork as well as the stunt-work. Moving onto the tone of the film which I enjoyed as it had a more focus on suspense but still managed to keep it action packed to make it entertaining. I thought the soundtrack of the film was consistent to the rest of the franchise having tracks for all the story beats in the film.

Overall, I thought this film was a well constructed action film that managed to bring back the suspense and intrigue from the first Mission: Impossible film and ramp it up and made you route for the team just like the past few films and I would definitely go back and watch this film again.

I give Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation a score of 9/10
