Tom Cruise actor and filmmaker. Cruise has been nominated for three Academy Awards and has won three Golden Globe Awards. He started his career at age 19 in the 1981 film Endless Love. After portraying supporting roles in Taps (1981) and The Outsiders (1983), his first leading role was in the romantic comedy Risky Business, released in August 1983. Cruise became a full-fledged movie star after starring as Pete "Maverick" Mitchell in the action drama Top Gun (1986). Since 1996 he has been well known for his role as secret agent Ethan Hunt in the Mission: Impossible film series, which has a fifth film that he is on tonight to promote Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation
Ethan and team take on their most impossible mission yet, eradicating the Syndicate - an International rogue organization as highly skilled as they are, committed to destroying the IMF.
'Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation' Review: Better Than Bourne, Better Than BondIt looks like an over-the-top action movie, if that's your thing, you will probably enjoy it.Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation is a comedy of errors. The film is not just filled with jaw-dropping action and stunts but also filled with delightfully human comedy which brings our would-be super heroic agents down to earth. Like Brad Bird’s franchise-reviving fourth installment, writer/director Christopher McQuarrie’s fifth installment of the 19-year old spy franchise puts a premium on befuddlement and exasperation. Oh sure, it’s thrilling when things go exactly according to plan for Tom Cruise’s super spy and his cohorts, but it’s even more thrilling when things go terribly wrong. From the opening scene to the finale, there is a premium placed on believing our eyes.The plot for this one is pretty straightforward: The IMF has been disbanded, which is something that arguably should have happened when Sean Ambrose went rogue while on assignment and crashed a passenger jet into a mountain, but I digress. This leaves Ethan Hunt “out in the cold” as he finally zones in on the mysterious “anti-IMF” group of super terrorists he has been hunting for the last year or so. Nicknamed “the Syndicate,” this glorified Spectre/Injustice League organization has employed former intelligence operatives from every country in the world to make large-scale mayhem, but Hunt is the only man who really believes they exist. Into this picture waltzes one Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), who may or may not be playing both sides but seems to have a nasty habit of saving Hunt’s life from time to time. What happens next is a bit of high-octane action and old-school skullduggery, delivered in high style and panache to spare.
