Mission: Impossible - Fallout
Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team (Alec Baldwin, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhames) are back, along with some familiar allies (Rebecca Ferguson, Michelle Monaghan) in a race against time after a mission gone wrong. Henry Cavill, Angela Bassett, and Vanessa Kirby also join the cast with filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie returning to the helm.
Ethan Hunt and the IMF team join forces with CIA assassin August Walker (Cavill) to prevent a disaster of epic proportions. A group of terrorists known as the Apostles plan to use three plutonium cores for a simultaneous nuclear attack on the Vatican, Jerusalem and Mecca. When the weapons go missing, Ethan and his crew find themselves in a desperate hurry to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands.

Reviews & comments
Variety
pressHere, with everything that he's ever cared about on the line, Hunt proves why he's summer's most valuable action hero.
Vanity Fair
pressMcQuarrie'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.
The Telegraph
pressOK, 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 New York Times
pressThe 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.
The Guardian
pressCrashes and petrolhead spills are what this franchise is reasonably expected to deliver. And this is what it cheerfully does.
Screen Daily
pressAgeless, 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.
Hollywood Reporter
pressThe action here represents the mainstream cinema's version of extreme sports and these guys have staked their claim at the summit.

press...dazzles with its intense drama and gorgeous, grand scale cinematography...
It's half an hour too long but, hell, it delivers the expected goods with unexpected confidence and impact. The over-abundance of (mostly-familiar) plot still rarely slows things down, and the action sequences are so good you might have forgiven it being even longer yet. Convoluted hokum that any sensible grownup will laugh at, of course (with political...
Its acton-packed, thrilling and explosive; entertaining from start to finish with its fast-pace and suspenseful plot.
Really enjoyed this movie. While I had seen the other Mission Impossibles, I was expecting it to be entertaining but I didn't expect it to be so much more. The action scenes were amazing, and either love him or hate him, there is no denying that Tom Cruise is amazing in this and all the action scenes he does himself, like the helicopter scene. Would...
Finally a quality Mission so good that the Bond Movies start to place 2nd. I don't think I have ever given a movie 5 stars so easily. Take all the great past Mission scenes, add a gripping story and just go and see it, the bigger the screen, the more bang for your buck. The minus to this movie is it will likely show us how boring our lives are compared to...
So Tom Cruise smashes out his 6th rendition of this nail biting series. It's a good watch and for the action that unfolds (aside from the predictable) its great. Worth the money to watch not he big screen with a mate or GF, while eating buttered popcorn. Great locations and knowing Tom Cruise fights Superman!! Awesome.
Few series can make it to the sixth movie and find itself being better than all the rest, and yet here we are, Mission Impossible: Fallout is (for the moment) the peak of the series. These movies are only memorable for their action set-pieces, which Tom Cruise so famously & willingly clearly pushes to the limit. This movie spares no expense and pulls no...
Thought the stunts were brilliant (was looking through me fingers at times!) but the story line is only so so.
