Just...where do you start with this tired hackneyed kind of film? One where you've seen every scene before, multiple times (and not just in this franchise) and yet they keep making it. And we keep watching it!

Ok so there's a mysterious online entity, baddies who drive black cars and are just everywhere...all the time, intelligence agents all talking in turn to explain the plot, a mysterious (bad) blonde oriental type woman oh, and a British female lead, (and she's an orphan), a party in Venice of course, and a destructive car chase through a major city, just again and again...the same film made so many times. This could be yet another Fast & Furious movie, a Daniel Craig Bond film or a Bourne snore fest and we wouldn't blink.

This one is different in that it's longer than most others, at two and a half hours or more. It's time to retire this franchise. And Tom Cruise just looks like he's had enough...even he can't carry it anymore.
