movie review - Mission: Impossible Fallout

This movie is honestly an excellent action film. It's better than the recent Bond movies, it's certainly better than a lot of recent with say Ryan Reynolds or perhaps Dwayne Johnson or even Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson. I can honestly say that this movie consistently surprised me with a great balance of high pace, smart plot-lines and engaging characters. Everyone in this thing showed up ready to put in a solid effort, and the central plot - of irradiating the drinking supply of several nations by dirty-bombing the world's largest glacial field - was very clever. I enjoyed it so much, I watched it again a couple of weeks later with my daughter.

Strongly recommended.
