Mission: Impossible – Fallout – The Film Starts review on FILMSTARTS.de

With a lot of blockbuster, the motto is "keep your eyes open, the brain!" And enjoy two hours of casual and meaningless krachbumm entertainment. It can be fun, no question. The best action blockbuster of the summer 2018 season, however, will ruthlessly fail with this approach. Because " Mission: Impossible – Fallout " offers not only a spectacularly aggressive, adrenaline-fueled and sustained action, but also a double-deception espionage story, which disrupts all five minutes of his plot and shakes her, As a spectator, you almost feel like a cat chasing your own tail – no wonder, because, like its predecessor, the clever author "The Usual Suspects" and the l 39; riddle of the species Christopher McQuarrie ("Jack Reacher") staged here.

Thinking with "Mission: Impossible – Fallout" is a must! The fact that the action series of agent after 22 years has not established rust, but is also due to the fascinating Figurenarsenal, which has enriched meanwhile the sixth part, in the first place Henry Cavill as a questionable agent of the CIA. The star of "Man Of Steel" is developing a brilliant chemistry with Tom Cruise, the endless top dog, and "Fallout" is proving to be a current, brutal and bitter hell, which just takes you crazy and completely crazy. ;extreme. final berserker leads rejects. The franchise has not been so good since the first part of "Mission: Impossible".

In Belfast, agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) accepts a new order from IMF chief Alan Hunley (Alec Baldwin) following the rebirth of the Secret Mission Force (IMF). The apostolic terrorists of the "apostles" want to take possession of three plutonium capsules that circulate on the black market to lead the world to the brink of the nuclear explosion. His motto: no peace without sacrifice! It is said that the chief of the apostles is a certain John Lark. But first, Hunt and his partners Benji (Simon Pegg) and Luther (Ving Rhames) fall into a trap in Berlin. Everything goes awry trying to buy the plutonium and the IMF team is left empty handed, so the CIA boss, Erica Sloan (Angela Bassett) is watching her best chain dog, l? murderer August Walker (Henry Cavill) sends …

Unpublished new acrobatics, fantasy sets: When a series of films takes place for so long, it is important for creators to question each other again and again, to avoid becoming a tired copy of themselves. But that is exactly what "Mission: Impossible – Fallout" is, as I said, far, far away. The action and versatile superstar Tom Cruise ("Barry Seal") is still at its peak at the age of 55, making the most dangerous stunts as ever to make them as authentic as possible, jumping on a cornice so he in August 2017, the ankle (the scene is also briefly in the movie to guess) and the shooting had to be interrupted for seven weeks.

Because of this delay, the film cut was also completed just three weeks before the theatrical release – an extremely rare precision landing. But these adversities have in no way had a negative effect on "Mission: Impossible – Fallout", but are rather an expression of the passion behind this project. But where do the new impulses come from? Here is unambiguously and shamelessly the – more or less original – Higher-Faster-Next principle that pushes Christopher McQuarrie with absolute consistency: In this hunt around the world (Belfast, Berlin, Paris, London, Rammstein , Kashmir), the director and the author put on a frantic pace that he only rarely takes for a few breaths.

The grand races in cars and motorcycles are not new, but the speed with which participants cross Paris is astonishing. More innovative, however, is the introduction battle of CIA agent Walker, who delivers an incredibly intense room fight with a tough and surprisingly punchy opponent on the side of Ethan Hunt – who defines the relationship between the two characters snogging. Because it's the big plus of "Mission: Impossible – Fallout": It's not just madly hit until the bones burst, but as well said.

There are so many twists and turns in history that it's hard to keep up with the count, also because there's a whole bunch of parties at work, none of which easily reveals their true intentions. So, the cards are shuffled multiple times. Nobody dares anyone! As a spectator, you can temporarily lose track of twists – until McQuarrie starts a clever move: at one point, all nodes are undone and all fronts are erased – and the director then directs any its energy and concentration to a crazy finale, which sets completely new standards in terms of breathtaking visuals. In the mountainous highlands of the Himalayas in Kashmir, an atmospheric confrontation takes place in a picturesque setting, where fierce competitors fight like berserkers and simply do not give up – like the Duracell bunnies that They continue to play. This suits the aggressive mood, no one wants to get out of the gas.

The concept of a set headed by Tom Cruise also works well for "Mission: Impossible – Fallout": in addition to established heroes, the new additions create exciting excitement points. Angela Bassett ("Contact") may be just the icing on the cake as the skeptical CIA ("The IMF is Halloween") topper, but Henry "Superman" Cavill is just a punch as an opaque CIA man – and as such forever Cruise freshly grown! Will they become friends or foes? Does one spy on the other? It's very exciting to follow these questions, as Cruise and Cavill harmonize perfectly as a "scalpel and hammer".

Speaking of the dark: The British theater actress Vanessa Kirby ("The Crown") brings as a lousy weapons dealer The White Widow a lot of charming Woman- Fatal at the beginning. We would have liked to see more of that. In "Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation" Rebecca Ferguson ("Snowman") made a furious debut as a double MI6 agent, but here she is only allowed to get involved in the second half, before she gets caught. she appears as a ghost. But as well as the villainous super-hero revived Salomon Lane, once again charismatically abysmally embodied by Sean Harris ("Harry Brown"), Ferguson's Ilsa Faust is extremely important for building complex history.

"Mission: Impossible – Fallout" is not just about big action columns, twists and big characters. Still referring to the roots of the franchise, namely the iconic TV series agent "Cobra, take over" (1966 – 1973) by Bruce Geller, with the usual masquerade gimmicks. Two of the new disguise reloads are very fun because you can not see them coming and feel as disappointed as the characters they are. On this track runs dry humor, for the "Mission: Impossible – Fallout" breaks for short and crisp moments. For example, the IMF team and Walker in Paris are making great efforts to escape after a lawsuit, but just as they want to get out of the garage with their rescue vehicle, by chance, only one policewoman dispersed in front of the door … and they on the way. A wonderfully absurd moment, but at the same time evokes a moral dilemma. "Mission: Impossible – Fallout" is never one-dimensional.

Conclusion: Put on the belts, turn on your brain and drop into the seats – this is not the big screen this summer in Christopher's furious high-speed action thriller McQuarrie "Mission: Impossible – Fallout" to see.
