If you’ve waited for the summer blockbuster to arrive, the action is finally here in MI: Fallout.
From every Tom does-his-own-stunts Cruise classic rooftop run to helmet-less Top Gun throwback motorcycle ride, the now quintessential action hero must face harder crashes and crazier action, taller towers and gravity-defying thrills.
Throw a mustachioed Superman in there and the fists of fury will fly.
Now toss in a little romantic tension and the gang of old friends going rogue with Tom yet again in order to diffuse a few plutonium bombs.
Add a chopper chase, stormy parachute drops, street races in Paris, and London tower climbs, and you’ve got a #1 summer film.
It’s a stunt movie fueled by themes of mercy for the innocent, for the weak, for the one and for the many.
It’s a cavalcade of mind-bending feats, each one topping the next. The decent script offers a load of exposition, but enough twists and tension to keep it interesting. The mission, if you CHOOSE to accept it…
“A storm is coming…”
“I am the storm.”
