The movie takes place after the events of the fourth film. It follows Tom Cruise's character as he fights and tries to prove the existence of the terrorist organization known as the Syndicate.
Tom Cruise gives this movie his best in terms of stunt-work. This movie has plenty of action sequences that are done excellently by Tom Cruise. Even if you don't care for him as an actor, you have to give him credit for doing his own stunts. And he does a lot of dangerous things in this movie, including the scene where he hangs from a plane during takeoff (as seen in pretty much every single comercial, trailer, or poster for this movie).
It also has a pretty interesting story. It isn't overly simplistic, but it also isn't as confusing as some of the other entries in the franchise. It has intriguing elements, and is sure to keep the audience's attention throughout. It also has some good acting, with a cast that also includes Jeremy Renner, Simon Pegg, and Alec Baldwin. There are several moments of comic relief, mostly delivered by Pegg, which hit most of the time. But there are also many moments of tension, which were pulled off very well.
Overall, this was a pretty good movie. I don't really have much else to say about it, so this may be a little bit shorter than my other reviews. However, I'll just say that this is a tense action-thriller with great stunt-work by Tom Cruise.
4.0 out of 5 stars.
