Feel like this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I really struggle to see the difference between these movies and the Fast and the Furious franchise sometimes. They both center around a group of people who view themselves like a family, made up of insane personalities and skillsets. Each pretty much ignores the laws of reality whenever it suits them and has a lead that is, essentially, invulnerable. Cruise gets in a horrible, high-speed motorcycle accident during this while wearing the equivalent of a t-shirt and jeans and somehow manages to just get up and walk the five miles back to base? No. The constant use of this stupid face mask thing? Mmmm-no.
Where this movie definitely has a leg up over Fast though is in the cinematography. It is shot beautifully. The stunts are famously incredible. Oh, and it has Simon Pegg, which pretty much gives it an instant +1 in my book.
