Nah, thats the common copout for movies. But you shouldnt have to "suspend disbelief" because the plot is a total nonsensical mess with nonsense motivations, nonsense decisions and nonsense outcomes.
The type of movie establishes a certain ruleset for the world that you expect in the movie, if it consistently breaks that ruleset then its garbage. It's like watching a sports match where players (actors) just make up their own rules and refs (viewers) just go along with it. I can suspend disbelief when something fantastic happens but stays within the rules of the world. You shouldn't have to suspend disbelief just because the screenwriters want to cburn out these turds every 5 years with zero plot and only 3-5 action pieces strung together as a "movie"
Take the ending for example: why is it so contrived? Why does Cruise have to lure Solomon Lane into some underground sewer where he literally drops a man sized plastic box that traps Lane like its some Looney Tunes cartoon? Imagine just how nonsensical it has to be for Lane to end up in that 1 place, so Cruise can lure him in and Lane to fall for it? Why does Lane even jump down into this sewer when the movie shows that he can clearly shoot him through the opening? And then all 4 of them (including Benji) dramatically stand on each side of the box and dramatically fill it up with knockout gas even though Benji was just strapped to 2 lbs of Semtex not even 5 minutes ago?
Just how much disbelief I have to suspend?
