I'm married, I got six kids, I just want to live my life in peace. He said: "In the 40 years I've been in this business up until that day, I've never had a problem. "All of what happened that day leading up to this event was precipitated on one idea, and that idea is that Halyna and I had something profound in common, that is we both assumed the gun was empty, other than those dummy rounds." The 'Mission Impossible' star has been hit by a backlash in the wake of the tragedy and he's been having sleepless nights. He said: "I want to make sure that I don't come across like I'm the victim, because we have two victims here. I said to myself, 'Do I want to work much more after this? Is it worth it?'"

From the mesmerising desert of Morocco to the foggy alleys of London, this is a global journey that goes even further than the previous films, and comes out with a stunning result, the best of the series in my opinion! Hollywood star Alec Baldwin thinks his career could be over following the 'Rust' shooting tragedy, but he is determined just to focus on his family now. Finally, this is also a very nice film to look at, thanks both to McQuarrie's direction, as well as the beautiful sets and landscapes that this is set in all over the world. There are betrayals and deceptions galore in this spy thriller, as well as a genuinely exciting climax, which is so unpredictable that it makes you forget about the generic plots of the less successful films and be properly engrossed in the current story. There are few blockbusters that couple great action and intelligent storytelling nowadays, but this really bucks that trend, because it's absolutely enthralling to follow from start to finish. Away from the stunts, this film has still got a very good plot to it.
On that note, actually, the incredible bike chase is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the great action, but credit has to go to director Christopher McQuarrie for excellently turning this into a good-looking and intense action thriller, using great camera work (avoiding shaky cam) to make it so brilliantly entertaining. Tom Cruise proves once again that he's a blockbuster star like no other, giving his all in the action here, whether it's attaching himself to a plane, jumping in a chasm of water or riding a superbike through the desert (in what was, in my opinion, the greatest, most exhilarating car chase ever). There are five separate big action sequences here, each lasting around ten minutes more or less, and they are all high-octane thrill-rides that never let up and make this such an entertaining film. Led by Jim Phelps (Peter Graves), the team uses their cunning to battle dictators. Let's start, then, with the main attraction of this film: the action. Having a collection of Cold-War villains and James Bondesque gadgets, 'Mission: Impossible' chronicles the exploits of the Impossible Missions Force (IMF), an elite American covert operations unit tasked with highly sensitive assignments. It's exciting, slick, cool and fun, but this series, most of all in this film, has got an amazingly inexhaustible energy to it that makes it so brilliant.
You would think that after five films this would have become a tired premise, but the way that it takes on the spy genre as both an intelligent espionage thriller as well as a big-budget blockbuster makes it even better than the new James Bond films.
