Where's Tom Cruise?
share
He's been replaced by Kit Harrington who is actually a worse actor.
shareDid you honestly just attempt to suggest that Tom Cruise is NOT a good actor?

This has nothing to do with the Mission Impossible franchise

So why is it number five then?

*) MI 5 of Tom Cruise is Mission Impossible, 5th movie.
**) MI5 is a real organization in UK, often referred to as Spooks.
MI5 - The Security Service
https://www.mi5.gov.uk/
The Security Service (MI5) is a British intelligence agency working to protect the UK's national security against threats such as terrorism and espionage.
There was a UK TV series named Spooks on imdb (but the DVD set I watched had the name MI5). It was that MI5 organization.

This message board, The Greater Good (2015), is also about that MI5.
The character James Bond works for Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) a.k.a MI6.

When you watch movies, series about these MI5, MI6, they often call themselves by their 5 or 6: "You are 5?", "So, you are 6!" and so on. share
Since you don't know how to Google
During World War I, British secret services were divided into numbered sections named Military Intelligence, department number x, abbreviated to MIx, such as MI1 for information management. The branch, department, section, and sub-section numbers varied through the life of the department, however examples include:
MI1 [Codes and cyphers. Later merged with other code-breaking agencies and became Government Code and Cypher School (now known as Government Communications Headquarters).
MI2 Information on Middle and Far East, Scandinavia, US, USSR, Central and South America.
MI3 Information on Eastern Europe and the Baltic Provinces (plus USSR and Scandinavia after Summer 1941).

Thanks for your great post! I am a HUGE MI5 fan. I always wondered how they came up with all those designations and why.
Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!
What does Tom Cruise have to do with this movie?
Are you trying to be sarcastic?
Did you really watch the movie and still think this was a Mission Impossible film?
I'm in the US & don't mean to toot my horn, but didn't think that this was a Mission Impossible film, but if I did, would at least read the description. Additionally, the whole title "Mission Impossible ________" would be spelled out.
I assumed this movie was about British Intelligence, like James Bond is in MI6, and I didn't even remember if it was MI5 or MI6.
I don't know where Tom Cruise is, it's not my turn to watch him.
Laugh while you can, Monkey Boy!
