Plot

"Cofirming the ruse"

The (current) end of the plot summary doesn't ring true to me. It suggests that Ethan's 'going rogue, but not' was planned between the two characters, off-screen, prior to the original senate hearing. While that would mesh with the "Ethan was playing the very long game" ethos, my understanding of the end scene is that (following the incident with the British PM), the position of Secretary had been transfered to someone who had just been given a large amount of political capital, and would now be grateful to Ethan for this (as well as having had the truth of the situation totally confirmed to him, at that meeting). This book-ends the opening hearing's "until you get a new Secretary..." statement (or however that went). But (ironically) with a completely opposite result to that which was original imagined when this was said. However, I've only seen the movie. Perhaps the stated plot summary is taken from Word Of God material, whilst I've misunderstood the situation. Still, putting it out there. Without spoilering things too much, hopefully. 213.205.252.119 (talk) 03:57, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and have fixed it.ACB Smith (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 05:43, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edits

I've cut out a couple hundred words from the plot, as per the guidelines that it be between 250-500 words.ACB Smith (talk)

I have gone back through and restored some of the content that was cut because it affected the cohesion of the article. This is what happens when you prioritise a low word count - you wind up in a situation where there is an over-emphasis on the origins of the Syndicate, but you end up cutting Hunt's initial pursuit of Lane or his realisation that he has to confront Lane. Sure, WP:FILMPLOT recommends 400 to 700 words, but that doesn't mean that you have to try and get as close to 400 as you can for the sake of getting as close to 400 as you can. Brevity might be valued, but not at the expense of a) Hunt's initial reason for pursuing Lane, and b) the only real moment of character development in the film. Editors should put more thought into what best represents the events of the story without getting hung up on a low word count. Your intentions might be noble, but they are doing damage.

Cast

If anyone actually sees this movie they may note Zhang did not star and doesn't deserve the billing. Only an extra or at best a cameo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.53.114.236 (talk) 04:43, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, agreed. I would cut off billing below Atlee. If nobody objects, I'll do that tomorrow. ACB Smith (talk)

The following source confirms that she was, at most, 2 seconds in the movie. [1]. Also, there is mention that "...Chinese actress Zhang Jingchu joined the film's cast, in a major role" in the Production section. This is obviously done to enhance her status and visibility online. About Tom Hollander and Jens Hultén, they both deserve billing since they are in several pivotal scenes, actually accounting for more Simon McBurney's screen time. Some of those are even described in the Plot section. 200.42.237.185 (talk) 18:32, 2 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Where's ALIBABA Pictures?

Why is nothing in this article mentioning the production company "Alibaba pictures?"

Its because their Asian, right?

Once again this confirms that WIKI-pee-dia is a RACIST WHITE SUPREMACIST web-site pushing EURO-CENTRIC propaganda!!!
