Two Jews On Mission Impossible-Rogue Nation

”Mission Impossible-Rogue Nation’ is the fifth installment in the ”Mission: Impossible” franchise and is it ever good. No, I take that back. It’s great. The film is everything you want in an action film…Great Plot, Likable and extremely unlikable characters, humor, suspense, surprises, on th edge of your seat car chases, and off the chart stunts performed by the film’s star, Mr. Tom Cruise. Let me just say some of these stunts are truly amazing and he trained for months to be able to perform them.. You can’t help admire that kind of commitment.

”Mission Impossible-Rogue Nation’ is written and directed by Christopher McQuarie, who definitely knows what his doing when it comes to this genre.

The plot is simple. The head of the CIA (the very funny Alex Baldwin) thinks the IMF has become reckless and dangerous. He’s left with no choice but to order them to disband. He thinks Ethan (Tom Cruise) and his buddies, Simon Pegg, Ving Rhimes and Jeremy Renner have gone off the deep end. Ethan believes that there is a group called THE SYNDICATE, a multinational group of ex-operatives, who are doing their best to create world chaos. This includes killing world leaders and setting off bombs whenever they feel like it. The head of the Syndicate is an ex-British spy known as Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) Baldwin think this is one big fantasy and he’s determined to bring Ethan and his guys in. If that doesn’t work, he order Ethan killed. Poor guy not only his the CIA hunting him, but Lane and the syndicate are out to get him as well.. What’s a guy to do? Well for thing team up with a gorgeous double agent, Ilsa Faust) who may or may not be bad. To say anything more about the plot isn’t necessary. Just go see ‘Mission Impossible-Rogue Nation’ which opens in theatres Friday July 31, 2015. You will not be disappointed. I gave the film five bagels out of five because it’s THAT good. Love to know what you think. Check out the Two Jews On Film video to see my guest star.
