Review: if I could give this movie six Ray Liotta’s, I would. And you know what, I could if I wanted to. Because this is my damn website and I make the rules. But then I would have to draft up a whole other image with the sixth head and that just seems like too much work right now.
This movie was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while. I nerd out over this franchise. I watched the big stunt for months and months and then when I go see in the theaters, I point and cheer like a child.
The thing about this movie is that the big stunt wasn’t even my favorite part of the movie. The stunt was awesome. That all scene was great. But there’s a good 30 minutes of this almost 3 hour movie where Tom Cruise is alone in a submarine. There is no dialogue. There is music. Honestly, I give this movie a 99.9, With my only hesitation being I wish that some of the submarine scenes had no volume. Or maybe some of the underwater scenes had no sound to make the audience feel like the character did. Anyway, forget, I said anything to critique this movie.
The opening of the movie catches you up on the last movie, which was great. I needed the refresher. And throughout the movie, you are given flashbacks to earlier films in the franchise that just really help wrap it all up with the bow. But they aren’t thrown in randomly. There’s even a giant throwback to the very first movie and the famous stunt from that one. I won’t say anything else about that.
As always, the movie is packed with action, some humor, and some very attractive people. But what I appreciated about this movie is that there wasn’t really much of a love story. It is very, very rare at any movie, television show, book exist without a love story or a love interest at the least.Z
