The storyline is somewhat predictable but still a very watchable movie. The suspense element was too short IMO but maybe because the focus is on the title character and his emotional journey when faced with life changing decisions. The action sequences do look very budgeted compared to other multi million dollar productions but because of that looks a bit more real .It is not too fast nor too slow . No acrobatics, no CGI overlays and no death defying performances. Some parts of the story does seem too far fetched but the compelling performance from Chris Pine does balance these holes. All in all a good watch.

Semper fi.

I noticed that this movie was almost 2.5 hours long and not 1.5 hours only when I read that in a review here!! Wow. Previous MI sequels had progressively reduced my expectations so much that this was like fresh air . Yes it has its few weak threads nut all in all this is one movie that can be watched both on wide screen or at home.Good job.
