20 Best Movies Of 2018
11. Mission: Impossible - Fallout
How many movie franchises can honestly say that they saved the best for sixth?
Despite turning in many good entries and a couple of great ones, Fallout is by far the strongest yet, with returning director Christopher McQuarrie and actor-stuntman Tom Cruise proving to be one of Hollywood's most formidable teams.
Cruise once again one-ups himself by diving headlong into harm's way for our entertainment, this time even perilously piloting a helicopter for real in the movie's dizzying final set-piece.
Henry Cavill and his finely-groomed moustache meanwhile proved that ruining Justice League was well worth it, as he turned in arguably the best performance of his career and certainly the most physically imposing M:I villain yet.
Ambitious, brilliantly filmed and as fine an argument for cinema as pure escapism as there has been in 2018, Cruise and McQuarrie need to keep them coming.
