While Fallout is still very much The Tom Cruise Does Reckless Things For Our Amusement Show, the film’s ensemble is superb as well. Cavill is a great foil for Cruise, and Rhames and Pegg have cultivated a perfect banter rhythm after years of making these movies.

Alec Baldwin has most of Fallout’s best lines as Hunt’s new boss, and Angela Bassett is lovably stern as the latest in a long line of bureaucrats who distrust the IMF (the last one was played by Alec Baldwin; he eventually had a change of heart). Rebecca Ferguson, who joined the franchise in McQuarrie’s Rogue Nation as the mysterious British agent Ilsa Faust, also makes a welcome return to perplex and tantalize Hunt again.
