First, kudos to Cruise for giving his all in every movie. He deserves a lot of credit.

However, having said that, this was so hilariously ridiculous.

The writing was so bad. Everything had to be explained every 15 minutes through lengthy expositions. There is nothing worse than a writer that has to EXPLAIN through dialogue things that could otherwise be shown or told in a way where you don't feel like it's a powerpoint presentation of what is about to happen or what could go wrong.

Not gonna tell you what happens, but the last part was just so insanely bad. 15 minutes? HAHA. In 15 minutes Cruise stole a helicopter, fell from it in midair hanging from it, climbed back up, disarmed two soldiers, took over the helicopter, chased the other dude through mountains getting shot at for what seemed like forever, then crashed the mountains, meanwhile the other crew spent time looking for the bomb, got captured, tied up, got loose, fought the bad guy for what seemed like 20 minutes. We have to pretend a woman was able to beat the hell out of a trained soldiers.

After all of that there was still 5 minutes left on the clock.. HAHA

Come on, you have to be really unsophisticated to accept that and throw your suspension of disbelief away.
