Robin Williams’ chest hair in this film - and specifically just his chest hair - should’ve won Best Supporting Actor at the 1997 Oscars, just sayin.
Val is a complete bellend, and does not deserve love. There, I said it.
Love how a film with an initial premise of changing who you are to please other people (cheers, Val) ends up being an absolute riot; we really stan a heartwarming piece of cinema ultimately about acceptance. The soup bowl scene…
If I had a dollar for every time the IMF was shut down/framed, I’d have around five dollars by now… which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened that many times…
Seriously though - Tom Cruise. Holy Hell. The core strength of that man 🥵.
The best ensemble cast of a Mission Impossible film to date - alongside Tom Cruise (who is the epitome of Ethan Hunt in this fifth outing), Simon Pegg as Benji cements his role…
Better than Mission: Impossible 2 (standard) - but I have yet to find a film in this series that will beat the original!
But… this is definitely where the Mission: Impossible series starts to become… funny?
Some of the physical comedy in this film is absolutely top notch.
Simon Pegg and Tom Cruise? Attempting to infiltrate the Kremlin? Followed by a casual stroll, by the latter, up the side of the Burj Khalifa?
Sign me the fuck up.

One of the few things J.J. Abrams hasn’t screwed up. And, considering the omnishambles that is Mission: Impossible 2, I went in with low hopes (and surprisingly, still at my friend’s house).
Again - two words: Tom Cruise.
Actually, have three more words: a phenomenal actor.
The opening scene alone was already so much better than its forgettable predecessor. The angst on Cruise’s face during that scene would be hard for any other actor to replicate.
Philip Seymour Hoffman makes…
