Pretty standard stuff. High octane action, great shots on location, and Tom Cruise sprinting (in any of his films dating back to the 80's, does he ever not do this?). Predictable plot twists, not much originality, and in the desire to pack in as much as possible, excessively long at two and a half hours. The improbable (dare I say impossible?) sequence with the fifteen minute countdown seemed to last a half hour at least. I liked how Cruise (ageless at 56) sometimes gets knocked down or fails in this one, and the stunning shots in Kashmir. It's a summer blockbuster that filmgoers lapped up like ice cream, and it's entertaining enough as it trots out all the usual tropes. I do wish the mentality was 'less is more' instead of 'more is better', and that there was as much creativity in the story as there was in the stunts. I'm clearly in the minority though.
