It might seem a odd connection but I find the bigger the budget on an action blockbuster, the better and more intricate the plot.
The Mission Impossible franchise and James Bond films tend to offer you more for your money, leaving you not quite knowing what is coming next.
Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and the IMF's latest mission is no exception.
A rogue organisation is masterminding terrorist acts around the world in order to disrupt the existing world order.
Its members are clever and incredibly hard to track.
A man with Hunt's special set of skills is required to track down their leader and mastermind, Solomon Lane (Sean Harris).
Lane, a former British MI6 secret agent, has gone rogue and has recruited disgruntled agents from spy organisations the world over.
His planning is exact and he seems to be able to stay a step ahead of his pursuers while also knowing what steps they are likely to take.
Deep inside his organisation is Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), also of the British secret service, but whether she is an ally of Lane's or a deep plant is unknown.
Hunt's mission is not made any easier by the CIA also tracking him down as an agent who has operated outside the law for far too long.
The key to getting to Lane and closing down his evil organisation is to retrieve an electronic database hidden deep and securely under a power plant in Morocco.
This database holds details that will allow Lane to access enough money to run his organisation for years to come, causing untold mayhem.
With his team nearby -- Benji (Simon Pegg), William (Jeremy Renner) and Luther (Ving Rhames) -- Hunt has all he needs to succeed.
But Hunt must also rely on Ilsa to succeed, a somewhat perilous alliance with the true nature of her allegiance unknown.
Mission: Impossible is alive and well, in fact thriving, with Rogue Nation continuing the legacy impressively.
