Action. Thriller Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is going up against a new group of adversaries: “a network of highly skilled special agents” called the Syndicate that use terrorist attacks as their calling card. In addition to working with longtime colleague Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames), and fellow former IMF agents (the IMF has since been disbanded) played by Simon Pegg and Jeremy Renner, Ethan teams up this time around with a disavowed British agent — the ...

	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Thanks to a sharp script that springs a real surprise or two and a pace that never slackens (...) writer-director Christopher McQuarrie maintains the uptick in M:I quality established by the last two entries."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Cruise fires up everything he has as actor and athlete, showing that Mission: Impossible still has gas in its tank even when its engine sputters (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"At once questioning and reaffirming the pleasures of cinematic espionage, this is the rare sequel that leaves its franchise feeling not exhausted but surprisingly resurgent at 19 years and counting."	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"'Rogue Nation' is (...) an immense machine that Mr. McQuarrie, after tinkering and oiling, has cranked up again and set humming with twists and turns, global trotting and gadgets, a crack supporting cast and a hard-working star."	POS
United Kingdom	Henry Barnes The Guardian	"A sequel that is slick with silliness, but peppered with enough wit and peril to sustain the franchise’s momentum (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"Easily best in franchise, Rogue Nation dispenses with the dead weight of realism or relevance for state-of-the-art thrill-making in a classical mould. The series has finally found its voice (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"The action scenes are predictably magnificent, and an excellent supporting turn from fetching new cast member Rebecca Ferguson helps make this a sexy, propulsive, top-notch thriller."	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"Tom Cruise is running on empty in this by-numbers spy thriller, which has the air of a cut-price Bond movie (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"Like all Mission: Impossible films (of which there’s yet to be a dud), it’s not so much about the outcome as it is the breathlessly thrilling journey Cruise takes us on to get there"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"Rogue Nation plays out like a sufficient rejigging of the same variables tossed around many times before, which is just enough to both celebrate the material and demonstrate its limitations."	POS
United Kingdom	Tom Huddleston Time Out	"Tom Cruise goes through the motions in this diverting but empty blockbuster (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United States	Rodrigo Perez IndieWire	"Rogue Nation is not pretending to be anything it isn’t. And as a sensory escapist experience with laughs, pleasures, and excitement, Rogue Nation will likely be a most satisfying mission audiences choose to accept repeatedly."	POS
