Wasting absolutely no time, this movie drops viewers into the narrative, getting the important details out of the way so the action can get started. So many action movies spend forever with extensive set-ups. But there’s no fat on this movie, even early on, where action so often takes too long to get to the “good stuff,” and definitely not late when the movie is intense enough to leave you exhausted. A group called the Apostles wants to create chaos. That’s really all you need to know. They have a bomb and they are going to set it off in a way that would create the most havoc world wide. Kind of like what the Russians are doing on a cyber level, they are doing the old fashioned way.
One fascinating thing is to see how Cruise is finally allowing his age to show a little bit. Cruise's latest version of Hunt stumbles a few times and his punches don’t land with the force they once did. And the supporting cast is uniformly strong, especially Cavill and Rebecca Ferguson
