Mission: Impossible - Fallout
Warning ! SPOILERS forMission : Impossible - Fallout !
-
The climactic ' hook ' second that kills the villain inMission : Impossible - Falloutis one of the best of the entire enfranchisement . As ever , Ethan Hunt ( Tom Cruise ) is on a pursuance to economise the humans . This time , the legendary IMF agent attempt to find three plutonium cores which a terrorist electronic internet call the Apostles , which is a reorganized variant of the evil Syndicate fromRogue Nation , plans to apply to devastate a third of the world ’s population .
The unforgiving military action Ethan finds himself sweep in culminates in a spectacular mid - air helicopter conflict over the raft of Kashmir with thetrue villain of the film , August Walker(Henry Cavill ) . The mustached CIA assassin ab initio assigned to oversee Hunt is in reality a overzealous syndicalist in conference with Solomon Lane ( Sean Harris ) , the loss leader of the Apostles . When the IMF uncovers the plot of land , Ethan becomes hellbent on stopping Walker from set off the nukes . Not that Ethan has a plan , per se , when he goes after Walker ; literally flying a helicopter for the first metre by the bum of his pants , Hunt attempts insane aerial maneuver like trying to cram his chopper into the one Walker is on board . of necessity , both helicopters collide and crash atop a tidy sum , flip out over repeatedly and falling over a cliffside . One of the hoot , however , is suspended by a cable and is precariously held aloft by a metal hook scarcely gripping the rock .

All of this eventually result in the amazing ' draw ' here and now that finally dispatches the villain . Half of Walker ’s expression is severely burn by air travel fuel that leak from his destroyed helicopter , but he ’s otherwise in fairly better physical shape than Ethan , who was severely pain in the crash . notwithstanding , they fight each other viciously on the mountaintop and both men cease up tumbling over the cliff . As they each cling to the rock face and begin climb , the system of weights of the helicopter beneath them proves too much for the sweetener halt it aloft . The hook finally photograph and , as Ethan parry it , the metal discard itself powerful into Walker ’s injured face , station him and the corpse of the chop plummeting into an explosion .
It ’s no surprise Walker snuff it since the bad bozo usually die intheMission : Impossiblefilms . Jim Phelps ( Jon Voight ) likewise died via helicopter explosion in the original film and Ethan shot and killed rogue agent Sean Ambrose ( Dougray Scott ) inMission : Impossible 2 . Kurt Hendricks ( Michael Nyquist ) fell to his end inGhost Protocol , while arms dealer Owen Davian ( Phillip Seymour Hoffman ) meet the most ungentle death by being run over by a hand truck in the middle of a Shanghai street inMission : Impossible III . Meanwhile , Solomon Lane charge the odds by surviving both of his turns as the dealership ’s Big Bad .
However , August Walker ’s death is the best villain expiry of theMission : Impossiblefranchise thus far . Walker was a foil for Ethan throughoutFallout , alternately adjudicate to one - up him and work with him . All the while , he was secretly framing Hunt as the Apostles ' cryptic broker ' John Lark ' , and he helped mastermind the schema that would result in the murder of Ethan ’s married woman Julia ( Michelle Monaghan ) . Walker needed a unfeignedly memorable terminal and he certainly ' get the hook ' - right in the face .
Of course , Henry Cavill ’s face , specifically his moustache , have been the focal point of two major film . Not being able to shave it to dally Superman forJustice Leaguereshoots had such a negative affect on what was theorize to be the DCEU ’s crown jewel . It ’s truly poetic justice that when it come time for Cavill’sMission : Impossible - Falloutbaddie to get his just desserts , he got the draw right in his smiler and not even his vaunted moustache could economise him .
