I know that there are a lot of Tom Cruise haters and yes, he is beginning to really show his age, however, if you can put these issues a side I think you would really enjoy this film.
The plot involves a group called "the Syndicate" led by a mysterious man named Solomon Lane and a subplot emerges involving the CIA whose director, played by Alec Baldwin, is trying to shut down the IMF. The cast includes Ving Rhames, Jeremey Renner,Simon Pegg, Sean Harris, and the very beautiful Rebecca Ferguson, Jingchu Zhang and Hermione Corfield.
There are the typical car and motorcycle chases, explosions, and the eventual attraction between Cruise and Ferguson. There is really very little new in this movie, but the scaled back story of this movie actually makes it work. The music from Joe Kraemer is good, though I am not sure why Michael Giacchino was not asked back. There are some creative firearms in this movie that would make "The Day of Jackal" proud.
This is definitely better than the last MI. I would recommend seeing this movie. I guess the summer release was to avoid the "Star Wars" movie.

Is that like, "Red State"?
No.
Support Scientology???
There’s nothing Alec Baldwin is in that I’d want to see.
Also, it’s “Rogue Nation.”
wow we got to post #5, that was quick. IBATCOBG
More like Khmer Rouge, then?
Sorry.
No Cruise.
All the time.
Just watching the clown sucks IQ...even more than watching Dorkbama.
I commiserate. However, there are some of his movies that I actually liked: “Jack Reacher”, “Oblivion”, and that Sci-fi movie with Emily Brunt....
It is still early, not enough caffeine yet.
We saw it last night. A decent thriller in that it kept your attention throughout and not a bad way to spend a Saturday evening. We saw “Mr. Holmes” last week and I thought it was the better movie. But this one was pretty good as well.
Darks could fix you right up...
Had a couple friends who went to see it and they LOVED it ... much to their surprise. Think I’ll check it out.
The goal is “awake”, not “exploded on contact”.
MI was great; really entertaining. Jon Voight played a large part in that, IMO.
MI:2 was a crapfest; I’ve never watched another MI movie since. I remember seeing MI:2 at the movies and I kept thinking: “When does this end?”.
I’ll watch Yossarian again for the 58th time before this.
Anybody want to see second prize?
Not safe for work or for anyone.
Trust me on this, this one is good. Better than the last.
