Another of those 80s flicks that I've seen a dozen times, but never paid much attention.

Is Alex considered a Nice Girl in this? I would say yes, except it worked for her at first.

Glenn Close is scary when she needs to be, No wonder she was nominated for an Oscar.

Anne Archer was nominated too - tho she kinda has a thankless "the wife" role. But, she does give it more depth than typically seen.

The standout in the cast is the little girl, Ellen Latzen. The kid was a natural, and thanks to the chemistry with, especially Michael Douglas, she seemed like a real kid in a real family.

Excellent film, especially for some of the writing and directing choices. Adrian Lyne may not be the most famous of directors, but he knows how to make an intriguing, steamy film.

Yeah. I watched this one AFTER Fallout.

What of it?

Does that bug you?

This movie is so much fun. Rebecca Ferguson is seriously one of my favorite actors of late. She is exactly the boost the IMF team needed.

Christopher McQuarrie is a great action director and a fantastic writer. He knows how to push the envelope while Tom Cruise knows how to rip open that same envelope.

The rest of the cast is awesome. Pegg and his comedic style is welcomed and not at all distracting. His delivery is great while spouting plot details and lines. This isn't one of those movies where they allow a comedian to adlib their act into the screenplay.

Definitely, with Ghost Protocol and Fallout this entry is one of the best in the series.

There was absolutely no reason this story took two and a half hours to tell.

The entire runtime is dedicated to everyone's insecurities. Everyone. Rich, poor- doesn't matter. And in the end, nothing will change.

That is what I got from this movie.

Yes, it was funny, yes the direction was great. But, I really need someone to explain to me how Harris Dickinson of all people in this cast - was nominated for an Oscar?? It makes absolutely no sense.

I do not understand either, how it got a best picture nomination either. It's a good movie, sure- but one of the best? I can't concur.

And I will say; the sound design in this film is on par with the greats.
