The spy/espionage sub-genre of movies is in no danger of petering out. This year alone brought us big films like The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and Spectre, the latest James Bond adventure; not to mention news that another big spy franchise (Jason Bourne) will be continuing, as well.

“The only Mission Impossibles that were worth watching were the ones on TV back in the 60s.”
Agreed.
All of the new MI’s do not follow the simple premise of the originals:
The Impossible Mission TEAM work together to solve the issue.
With Cruz is just him...
Yawn.
The woman on the TV show Avengers was hot back in the 60s.
Thanks, Harry Palmer.
