Mission Impossible - Fallout

The next installment of the Mission Impossible franchise, this is a typical, what you expect, but action summer movie. I even got popcorn. This time Tom Cruise and his IMF friends need to save the world from a nuclear bomb. I am pretty luke warm on this film. The action is big, the story is solid. What I consistently felt was that I should have watched a couple of the previous installments to get the backstory. Here the writers assumed I remembered all the names and details from three years ago (which I didn't) and so my actual understanding of motivations was nearly completely missing. And it felt like that made a difference.
3 stars (out of 5)
