But "MI: Rogue Nation" is exactly that and then some. While the "Fast and Furious" franchise continues to be fun and exhilarating, nobody would ever accuse the filmmakers of producing a thoughtful, action-packed thriller. "Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation" is AMAZING.


Yes, when Tom Cruise is involved, no stuntman is required, and that risky business - pun intended - has helped make him, at age 53, our greatest action star. This time, he hangs from the door of an airplane, which he apparently did eight times, for eight takes. In "Ghost Protocol" he scaled the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world (no relation to Wiz). Part of what makes the "MI" franchise so great (with the exception of "MI: 3," which was really mediocre) is its fearless leader, and Tom Cruise truly does seem to be fearless.
