Chris McQuarrie is perhaps the greatest living action director. He has yet to receive his due (perhaps because Tom sucks up so much attention) but Chris is the key to the recent MI films and Top Gun.

That run from Frankenheimer of The Train, Seconds, The Manchurian Candidate, and Seven Days in May is amazing (I haven’t seen Birdman of Alcatraz or Grand Prix, so it could even be 6 classics in a row).

Great stuff. The Train is one of my favorites, too. The McQuarrie/Cruise collaboration will be talked about decades from now. Maybe even in a century, when actors and directors have all been replaced by AI algorithms (I hope not).

Always liked Christopher McQuarrie and his movie making/ scripts. For me his best film is Way of the Gun - such a firecracker of a movie. Really enjoyed MI7 part.1 - looking forward to Part 2.

After seeing this movie, YOU Can't tell me that a Metal Gear or good Uncharted flick isn't possible. Tom and Christopher are on a whole another level compared to the rest of action movies

Those two games came to mind. I thought of MGS 5 with the sandstorm shootout and Uncharted 2 with the train derailing.

Once again there's this thing about real experiences making for good movies, specially action-oriented ones · Irvin Kershner = from WW2 and a photographer in bad exotic places to The Empire Strikes Back · James Cameron = from a wild highschooler to Terminator and Aliens · Quentin Tarantino = from usher in a porn cinema and other random stuff to some fantastic action scenes · Christopher McQuarrie = from security guard in a poorly-placed cinema to Mission Impossible A nerd like JJ Abrams or Rian Johnson could never ever do a properly good action movie, they haven't felt a good rush in their lives! If you've never experienced, accepted and even enjoyed bursts of adrenaline, you just can't direct movies about that

While I enjoyed MI:7 you can tell that the action came first and emotion 2nd (which McQ admits at 3:36 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLJ8gcaJxJyyY6M.html), why for me the action scenes in Fallout are stronger with more at stake!
