Well, before I knew it, I was hammered to the bejesus. Sure enough, minutes into the usual, pre-credit action scene, uncle Joe threw his hands in the air and blurted out his trademark phrase, “Come on, man!” I nodded in agreement, my mouth muffled by a handful of popcorn, and suddenly realized it would be a fun drinking game to take a swig of beer every time Joe yelled, “Come on, man!” at the TV. Before settling into his home theater leather chairs, Joe microwaved a bag of Orville Redenbacher’s and I grabbed two beers from the mini-fridge. Now I knew I couldn’t overtly partake of the devil’s lettuce in his place, so prior to my arrival, I consumed a 2.5mg edible. So for this one, I decided to watch it in good ol’ Uncle Joe Biden’s basement. When the shit is piled so high and getting ever deeper like this movie, no actor can convince you that any of this is the slightest bit plausible. But let’s be real here, great actors only get you so far in a movie. I think he broke his ankle during one of the rooftop jumps, you could even see him limping after climbing up the other side. Of course, Tom Cruise is great in pretty much everything he does, and kudos for still doing stunts. These MI movies are all the same, aren’t they? Ridiculous plots, ridiculous situations that are impossible to get out of, ridiculous characters, ridiculous abilities, ridiculous car chases, etc.
