Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (Christopher McQuarrie, 2015)

The stunts just have to keep getting bigger and Tom Cruise has to carry on pushing himself to do more and more in them, even though he's not many years from not needing latex to disguise himself as an old man any more. This time, as if the plot really matters, it's the good guys being discredited by their government and setting out to clear their names and prove the existence of international crime consortium The Syndicate. Cue the usual fights and chases, as efficiently handled as ever, and there is an able supporting cast, but it's pretty meaningless popcorn fare. These things only work well if there is a villain of real purpose and presence, a factor which seems to have been forgotten.
