Mission: Impossible – Fallout is a ferocious heart-pounding cardio workout in your cinema sweat. In moment after unrelenting moment Cruise dances with death; I found myself cringing and squirming in my place. Strap yourself in for the most undisputed contender as not only the best Mission movie, but without doubt the best action movie of the year.

That bit in Mission: Impossible - Fallout where Henry Cavill reloads his arms in the middle of a frenzied punch-up? That’s also Christopher McQuarrie, on the first day of production, preparing to lay waste to whatever memory you have of Hollywood action filmmaking in the last couple of years.

Here, with everything that he's ever cared about on the line, Hunt proves why he's summer's most valuable action hero.

McQuarrie's film is the most fun you're likely to have at the movies this season, a riot mounted with precision, a melee in which every punch and crunch is considered.

OK, McQuarrie may not have De Palma's sweat-drop precision, John Woo's craziness or the impish wit of Brad Bird, but his mastery of logistics here is easily sufficient to make it the blockbuster of the summer.

The movie is propelled by action scenes that transmit a little something about the characters while nudging the story forward, much like the song-and-dance numbers in a musical.

Crashes and petrolhead spills are what this franchise is reasonably expected to deliver. And this is what it cheerfully does.

Ageless, riveting and seemingly unstoppable, Tom Cruise remains a force of nature. "Fallout" delivers a near-exhausting amount of stupendous action sequences paired with deft character drama and the requisite life-or-death stakes.

The action here represents the mainstream cinema's version of extreme sports and these guys have staked their claim at the summit.
