Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) recruits his IMF team - William Brandt (Jeremy Renner), Benji (Simon Pegg) and Luther (Ving Rhames) to help track down the Syndicate, a group of international agents who have gone rogue. With the help of Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson), a woman of questionable loyalty, Ethan and his gang must find the flash drive with all of the financial information for the Syndicate before it falls into the wrong hands and is lost forever. Working against the CIA's Alan Hunley (Alec Baldwin), can the IMF eradicate the Syndicate before it is too late?

This is a high octane thriller. The movie starts with Ethan holding onto the side of an airplane as it takes off and gets even crazier from there. The stunts alone are worth the price of admission. There are some plots holes but the action and overall story make up for any lapses in logic. I always enjoy the rapport between the characters. I would have liked a little more interaction between them but the movie was so action-packed that there wasn't room for more conversation. Rebecca Ferguson was a nice addition to the cast and she seemed to hold her own with Tom Cruise. Fun and entertaining movie. Definitely the best Mission Impossible to date. Go see it.
