Moustache Trailer Reactions | Mile 22 | Mission: Impossible - Fallout



Mission: Impossible - Fallout

It appears that Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) isn't done causing trouble for Ethan Hunt and the IMF. His escape re-ignites the rivalry between the Impossible Mission Force and their sister agency, the CIA. A matter only made worse by Hunt's determination to be the one to bring Lane in. Fallout is said to focus more on Hunt's personal life, which might explain said determination. Michelle Monaghan returns as Ethan's wife Julia. There's a shot in the trailer of the two of them taking part in some sort of wedding ceremony, only for what appears to be a nuclear explosion to be seen in the distance. Now, the Mission: Impossible movies aren't known for their dream sequences but there's a chance that's what this is.



All of the team are back bar Jeremy Renner's William Brandt, Renner was busy working on the Avengers sequels. Alec Baldwin is back as the newly crowned Secretary of the IMF and we're introduced to his opposite number in the CIA, played by Angela Bassett. But it's her right hand man - August Walker (a moustachioed Henry Cavill) that I find most interesting. And it's not because of the moustache! Walker is more than a bit intense, he's the CIA's "bull in a china shop". Other than that we know nothing about him or his allegiances. Is he good? Is he bad? Or is he just a man on a mission? Maybe he has a grudge against Hunt or The IMF. Who knows?


The trailer shows some beautiful locations as well as some breath taking action sequences. Including a cliff-side fight, more of the epic helicopter chase and the famous building jump in which Cruise broke his ankle. But it's alright because Benji (Simon Pegg) is on hand to provide support in the only way he knows how.

Having not been blown away by Rogue Nation - the series peaked for me with Ghost Protocol - I wasn't all that bothered about a follow up. But so far the trailers have really impressed me. I am  really interested to learn more about who Ethan Hunt is and how Julia will re-enter the story.

Mile 22

In the latest from Mark Wahlberg and director Peter Berg, a specialist team known as "Overwatch" - operating out of the US Embassy in Bogota - must escort a Police Officer (Iko Uwais) in possession of sensitive information out of the country. Mile 22 is rumoured to be the first in a trilogy of movies featuring the Overwatch team.


Nothing is known of the information he holds, but it's clear there are several interested parties. A fact made clear by an attack on Iko Uwais' Li Noor from within the US Embassy. It's a brutal scene, but one in which we get a glimpse of Uwais' considerable skill as a martial artist. From there we are introduced to Wahlberg and his team, including Ronda Rousey and Lauren Cohan as their mission begins to go pear-shaped. John Malkovich - sporting the worst hair piece since "Rug-Rat" in The Wolf of Wall Street - also stars as Bishop, the boss monitoring things from the embassy.


The trailer doesn't give too much away, it's the usual snapshot of story, characters and action. I get the feeling that this could be a fun action movie, Wahlberg and Berg definitely have a good track record. Whether it will be a surprise summer blockbuster, only time will tell. But hopefully, Mile 22 will mark the beginning of a brilliant Hollywood career for Iko Uwais.


Mile 22 is in cinemas from 10/08/18

The Suicide Squad | Average Guy Movie Review

A new batch of convicts - as well as a few originals - are under the thumb of Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), who's once again offering years off their prison sentences in return for completing a few jobs for Uncle Sam. This time she's sending them to the island nation of Corto Maltese. There they must infiltrate the capital and destroy a top secret research facility. Sounds easy enough. Task Force X is back, and with James Gunn at the helm things are madder than ever! The Guardians of the Galaxy  director has taken what David Ayer started and blown the roof off of it. But he has done so in a way that is respectful of what has gone before. Fans of the original (of which there are apparently few) will have no trouble going from  Suicide Squad  to The Suicide Squad . And yet, the new movie stands quite happily on it's own two feet. Rather than making them drastically different, the returning characters simply feel like they have grown a bit. Well, maybe not grown, but adapted, t

Operation Market Garden Anniversary 2016

The John Frost Bridge at Arnhem (from my visit in 2013) 72 years ago today, Allied troops set off on what could be one of the boldest missions of World War 2, Operation Market Garden. Developed by Field Marshall Montgomery, the plan was to advance into Nazi occupied Holland and develop a bridgehead over the River Rhine into Germany. There were two parts to the operation: Market (Airborne) Garden (Ground Forces) In what was the largest airborne operation of the war, paratroopers and glider troops had the job of securing bridges at Eindhoven (US 101st Airborne), Nijmegen (US 82nd Airborne) and Arnhem (British 1st Airborne). The ground forces, made up of the British XXX Corp had to advance up a single highway through Holland, linking up with the airborne forces as they went. In honour of the anniversary of Operation Market Garden we look back at some of the movies and TV Shows that tell the story of the Allies ill-fated attempt to end the war by Christmas 1944. A Bridge Too Far

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings | Average Guy Movie Review

For ten years Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) - the son of The Mandarin (Tony Leung), keeper of the Ten Rings - has been running from his past, trying to escape the life his father intended for him. Unfortunately that past has now caught up with him, endangering the lives of those he cares about. Now he must return home, face his father and learn the secrets of his family. If there's one thing that Marvel is good at, it's taking lesser known comic book characters and turning them into major players. Clearly they haven't lost their touch because Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings  is everything fans love about the MCU and so much more. Whilst keeping things very much rooted in this world, Destin Daniel Cretton has carved out a new piece of the epic film franchise - one steeped in asian culture and mythology - to bring us Marvel's first Asian superhero.  It seems insane to think that just a few years ago Simu Liu tweeted Marvel about Shang-Chi, and now he's playing the ne
