Review by unofficial reviewer
The MI franchise has slowly been going downwards and this film is a continuation of the decline. Yes, it has lots of action, very cliche suspense, gorgeous scenery and it is entertaining.
The plot line is rather full of holes, the acting leaves to be desired, especially Alec Baldwin who is "tinny" and unbelievable. Here is an example of a flaw: Hunt learns to fly this helicopter and next second he is involved in a pursuit in narrow gorges at low altitude. That is hard to take.
I sort of liked it, but I really could not get into it. I was expecting so much better.
