When Hunt’s mission goes wrong, infamous agent August Walker (Henry Cavill) is brought to his side – and new conflicts won’t be long in coming…
An adrenaline-drenched action spectacle that you rarely see
The official FILMSTARTS review of “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” gave it an excellent 4.5 out of 5 stars. For us, the film is almost one of the great masterpieces of the genre. Our author Carsten Baumgardt writes in his conclusion: “Fasten your seatbelt, switch on your brain and get shoved into your seats – there won’t be a better spectacle on the big screen this summer than Christopher McQuarrie’s furious, fast-paced action thriller.”
This is still true today, as “Mission: Impossible – Fallout” is one brutal, high-voltage action inferno that continuously captivates you throughout its entire 147-minute running time, leaving you with an absolutely crazy berserker finale to the max. The review states: “The – otherwise not particularly original – higher-faster-further principle applies here very clearly and immodestly, which Christopher McQuarrie takes to the extreme with absolute consistency.”
Particularly impressive are the groundbreaking stunts that Christopher McQuarrie performs with incredible speed, rarely pausing for a moment. It’s not just the grandiose chases on foot, car or motorcycle, but also an incredibly intense bathroom fight in which Tom Cruise and Henry Cavill impressively demonstrate their wits. The finale in particular, in which helicopters and a cliff play an important role, is almost breathtaking.
Moreover, ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ is not only the extreme action game, but also functions as an ambiguous, complicated spy story that not only aims for the superficial effect, but also raises a moral dilemma that ‘Mission: Impossible – Fallout’ never seems one-dimensional.
