(That has been much publicized for the fact Cruise did it himself with no green-screen help.) But for me, it is the cat-and-mouse games and verbal sparring that really sets this film apart from others in the genre. But as I say in my video review (click the link above), don’t get me wrong: there are plenty of mind-blowing action sequences here beginning with the James Bond-like pre-credits sequence in which Cruise hangs from a plane as it rolls down the runway and takes off. This fifth go-around for the IMF squad doesn’t just rely on trying to top itself with one outrageous stunt after another like many of these franchises attempt.

WATCH MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 5 MOVIE
The latest edition, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation is not just the best movie of the summer, it is the best summer movie of the summer, with its smart script and direction from Christopher McQuarrie, the Oscar-winning screenwriter of The Usual Suspects who has a long-standing relationship with star Tom Cruise having penned Valkyrie, Edge Of Tomorrow and Jack Reacher (which he also directed).

I thought it would be hard to top Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol, but this franchise just keeps getting better.
