Tom Cruise concludes the summer movie season with spectacular action sequences.

The latest installment of "Mission Impossible" proves that at 53, the actor is still charming and leaves his mark playing a spy who has been on the big screen for nearly 20 years.

Since Mission Impossible premiered in 1996, moviegoers worldwide have coined the phrase "Like Tom Cruise" to describe his daring stunts in real life. The actor, born in 1962, is one of the rare Hollywood performers who has built his reputation and style through death-defying action sequences in the most perilous and challenging situations. In the latest installment, Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, the actor maintains his impressive form, although his appearance has somewhat lost the youthful innocence of his twenties.

Right at the beginning of the film, viewers are captivated by the sequence in which Tom Cruise and his team try everything to stop a chemical weapons shipment using an Airbus A400M Atlas. As the plane takes off on the runway, Tom Cruise recklessly jumps onto the wing, running against the wind to cling to the massive aircraft at an altitude of 1,500 meters, attempting to infiltrate the interior. Following this mission, a series of new, breathtaking action sequences continue throughout the film.

In the second installment, Tom Cruise climbed some of the most treacherous cliffs in North America. In the fourth film, the actor runs across the surface of the world's tallest building – the Burj Khalifa – in Dubai. Compared to the previous four films, the action sequences in this new installment are even more breathtaking. The action scenes in Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation are just as spectacular as the car-dropping scenes from airplanes or cars crashing through two skyscrapers in Dubai in Fast & Furious 7 earlier this summer.

However, what sets Tom Cruise's action scenes apart is that they are limited to special effects and performed by Tom Cruise himself, without the need for stunt doubles. Because of this, Tom Cruise's character, Ethan Hunt, lacks the classic, primal, and mysterious aura of a spy straight out of a novel – James Bond.

Ethan Hunt's portrayal in the new film exudes a seasoned, worldly, and suave aura. The meticulously crafted costumes help the character, played by Tom Cruise 20 years ago, once again captivate viewers with his appearance, sometimes elegant, sometimes rugged and dashing.

Rebecca Ferguson, the beautiful actress who accompanies Tom Cruise in the new installment, delivers a flawless performance. The Swedish actress looks older than her 31 years in real life, but remains undeniably charming in evening gowns or form-fitting sportswear. She also boasts the most complex character development and inner turmoil, second only to Tom Cruise's main character.

Rebecca Ferguson impressed with her portrayal of a seductive female assassin.

Despite a change in the composer, the soundtrack for the new episode retains the classic melody from the first film. The suspenseful main theme was composed by Joe Kraemer, who also collaborated with director Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise on the 2012 crime film adaptation of Jack Reacher. Against this cohesive and exciting musical backdrop, the film seamlessly transitions between various settings – from bustling London to the frigid regions of Eastern Europe, to the winding roads along the edge of cliffs in sun-drenched desert countries.

While the film's dramatic sequences leave a lasting impression, the new episode's script follows a classic formula and fails to offer viewers a sophisticated or groundbreaking storyline. Nevertheless, the way a fight scene is integrated into the setting of an opera at the beginning of the episode demonstrates the masterful skill of the screenwriters and directors.
