Mission: Impossible – Fallout
Number 6, brought to you by Chinese money, sponsored by BMW. The James Bond ripoff levels are off the charts, Rebecca Ferguson is Vesper now.
The Bond ripoff is so complete, the girl from Mission: Impossible III (the JJ Abrams one) returns, the one the hero married and dumped, for her safety. That’s three babes competing for his attention, but he only cares about the world, hang out with his male friends, and first base is reserved to being harassed by some CIA frontwoman (the bad Josephine from Napoleon).
Just because you use the same car, doesn’t mean you are ripping off Ronin correctly. There was no masked motorcyclists that are obviously the only credited named that had less screen time so far.
It’s quite silly, the CIA is “posing” an AC-130 flight as commercial. What kind of company uses a 4-engine military vehicle coming from Ramstein as freight? Not In-Q-Tel, that’s for sure.
But weirder, why the fuck do the Chinese are backing India in Kashmir? Was this banned in Pakistan? Why not set this is Iran, it would be less controversial. Why wade in this hornet’s nest?
Can’t believe Ilsa only uses her tights, all the time. It’s her signature move. And Walker has the body slams. It’s all very rote.
CIA Angela Bassett is pretty blasé about having her right hand man be a terrorist, and faces absolutely nothing. That tracks. Alec Baldwin did not shoot anyone the whole film, but he got access to plenty of loaded firearms. They got lucky.
This is my place for ramblings about sequences of images that exploit the human visual limitation know as persistence of vision.
