Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015)

Jeremy Renner had the best running joke in this movie. I haven’t laughed so hard at a full-circle joke in my life. This is pretty par for the course in this franchise. It is like the Fast and Furious franchise in its suspension of disbelief. This time around Ethan and his crew are on their own with IMF disbanded. They do their impossible thing to take down a villainous organization. Not much in the way of character growth but it has fun characters and set pieces. They definitely know what the people want. Definitely worth a watch though.
