It’s one of the best reviewed films of the franchise, with Variety calling it “the series' most exciting installment yet.” The action sequences in Fallout are also some of the best in the franchise- compact, sleek, and thrilling, with all of the traditional shots we’ve grown to love, including a motorcycle chase, a bathroom duke-out, and a high-stakes helicopter sequence. The film grossed $791.1 million worldwide, making it the highest grossing film of the Mission Impossible franchise. It draws on the plots of prior movies, specifically Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation, but also works as a stand-alone film for those that haven’t seen the rest of the movies. Starring Henry Cavill and Tom Cruise, the movie continues to follow Ethan Hunt’s adventures as an IMF agent-this time, fighting against the the terrorist group The Apostles as they attempt to use plutonium cores to create weapons of mass destruction. But of all the films in the franchise, Mission Impossible: Fallout is widely considered to be the franchise’s best. Mission Impossible is such an indomitable franchise that, at this point, it would almost make sense to have a top ten list of only Mission Impossible movies.
This transition has made it trickier to demarcate who exactly is a spy versus who’s just a government employee who happens to have a handgun. As a genre, it’s hard to nail down what puts a film squarely in the “spy movie” category, especially as the moral simplicity of tuxedo-ed 20th century movie spies has begun to fade away and the more nuanced and slightly less well dressed white-collar spies of modern day have gained precedence. They’re a category of their own, encompassing everything from James Bond to Jason Bourne and carried by actors ranging from Saiorse Ronan to Will Smith. Spy movies are more than just an action movie subgenre.
