The Mission: Impossible films have always fallen somewhere
between Bond and Bourne, despite being around before the latter. They are
globetrotting films with world ending bad guys and gadgets and stunts. Yet,
Hunt has more about him than Bond; he isn’t as unlikable and there is something
in him which, like Bourne, feels a little improvised and therefore more
interesting.
Fallout is one of
the best of the series. It’s bad guys and gadgets are better than we’ve seen in
Bond for a while and the stunts show what can be done when you have scope and
money. Bond has lacked both recently. Cruise shows why he owns the genre and
the revolving supporting cast, with a few regulars, keeps it fresh. Fallout is entertaining from beginning to
end.
