No problem. I've tried to get a lot of people to check the movie out to no avail but my one friend and he loved it. A brisk 90 minutes that I saw someone perfectly describe as "Reservoir Dogs on cocaine."
Don't worry about Hammer dominating the film, I'd say he gets equal screentime with several of the other key actors.
Tom Cruise is starting to look a bit older, looks a lot more tired around the eyes. Always blessed with a youthful handsome face but time catches up with us all. My guess is he'll keep making MI movies, though, but it would be nice to see him retire from the role before he hits 60 (Harrison Ford didn't really enhance his reputation appearing as older versions of Solo, Jones and Deckard!). Most heroes should remain reasonably young.
But I do worry that , such is his strangle hold on MI (and his relative lack of success on other projects) that he will keep going way past his sell by date. Jumping the shark without the use of a stuntman. He is a fine actor and, hopefully, will take on some more mature roles that he can get his teeth into.
Ilsa Faust is a character who's more of a leader than a follower as opposed to Jane Carter, Zhen Lei and other previous female operatives. Including other "capable" agents like Brandt (Renner) and Declan Gormley (Rhys Meyers), I don't see them as being leaders, even though Brandt was said to have led an IMF team prior to the events of Ghost Protocol. His character is more of an analyst than a leading field operative.
I'd be all for Rebecca Ferguson picking up the mantle and have a more team-oriented Mission: Impossible films spawned than repeating Ethan Hunt's Evel Knievel show.
That would make room for some young, newcomer with a child like nievity who has much to learn. With ellements of the Cruise character but in their 20s.
The politics are just an added benefit, which could assist Bond too, because it's the agenda driven idiot American/British press who tend to make such a big deal out of this anyway, and she would then be an American agent of British background. Shuts them the hell up.
It has not.
