Mission Impossible: Fallout Review - 6 Ups & 3 Downs

5. Sean Harris

In the grand history of cinema, there have been two moments of incredible "no-selling" in car-based action sequences. The first came in Men In Black when Tommy Lee Jones was unphased, upside down in his car with his hair standing on end while Will Smith screamed in a crumpled heap, which most will remember as a genius bit of comedy.

The second comes in Fallout, when Sean Harris' delightfully Bond-like villain is driven around Paris at ridiculous speeds by Ethan Hunt as his enemies close in. Despite almost dying a fair few times in one of the best car chases of modern times, Harris' Solomon Lane barely raises an eyebrow.

And despite this being about as active as he gets (aside from some surprisingly brutal fighting), he's brilliant as Lanes. It's a performance based on sparsity and it works really, really bloody well. After all, who needs a pantomime villain when you have a hero as large as Ethan Hunt to compete with? Balance is everything.
