HOLY SHIT THAT'S A HELICOPTER CHASE SCENE

This one's probably got the best third act in the series, which I think goes a long way in of making up for how rehashy the story is. Villain uses Julia to get to Ethan like in 3, threat of nuclear fallout like in 4, the same villainous group and the return of the main villain from 5. Hell, even the helicopters are an (albeit far expanded) echo of 1's climax. Yes, the action still rules, but I found this story to be a bit less engaging than the last 3. Cavill is a great addition though, and this one's got some of the best deception scenes in the series (rad that Wolf Blitzer was down for that). And yes, the rumors are true, this one actually made me cry a bit at the end (a series first).

I don't quite see one of the best action films of all time here, but it's another link in this exhilarating chain of a franchise. 4 bangers in a row with more to come apparently, how do you manage that?
