MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING – Review

Tom Cruise plays Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning from Paramount Pictures and Skydance.

It seems impossible that Tom Cruise would stop making Mission Impossible movies, but if you have seen any of the films in this franchise, especially the more recent ones, you know nothing is impossible in the Mission Impossible universe. Yet MISSION IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING is hinted to be the last in the franchise. We shall see about that. Of course, at some point, star Tom Cruise will have to step back from this action franchise, because everyone ages, including Cruise, in order to maintain a scrap of believability in this franchise built on ever-more impossible stunts. Still, since Cruise bares most of his muscular body, not once but twice, in this film, he may be telling audiences he’s still in good enough shape to continue, for now.

Fans are still enthusiastic about the action-fueled, stunt-packed franchise regardless, and if Tom Cruise wanted to go out on top for this series, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING would be a good choice. More cohesive and entertaining than the last one in the franchise, this round has now-freelance secret agent/do-gooder Ethan Hunt and his team in a ticking-clock race to defeat an AI entity taking over the world by seizing control of the world’s nuclear weapons, with a plan to wipe out humankind. It is thrilling, nail-nibbling excitement and entertainment throughout.

The series originated from a 1960s TV spy thriller series, with agent Jim Phelps and his team of skilled secret agents would thwart evil international plots, using a variety of disguises and technology. That show started with a frenetic, burning-fuse, jazz music theme, and agent Jim Phelps getting a secret assignment via audio tape that would always end with a message about official disavowing the teams action and the tape self-destructing, as it burst into flame. About all that remains of that origin show is a sampling of the catchy musical theme, a recorded message that self-destructs in a puff of smoke, and penchant for masks and impersonation. Even the name of the team leader was changed long ago by producer/star Tom Cruise, to Ethan Hunt.

As MISSION IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING opens, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his team have become free agents but are still committed to doing good. When Ethan gets a recorded-message plea for help from the President (Angela Bassett, in a brilliant bit of casting), he lets bygones be bygones to come to the rescue, literally to save the world, or at least humankind, from a powerful AI entity that wants to rule the world, and is gaining control of the world’s nukes to do that. The all-powerful AI makes for a chilling villain, a real challenge Hunt’s skills and his team.

Along with the AI’s plan to wipe out humans, Ethan also faces a human adversary named Gabriel (Esai Morales), a smiling madman who believes he can seize control of the AI to rule the world himself, but who wants to let the AI grab all the nukes first.

Ethan’s team has familiar faces, such as Simon Pegg as tech assistant/right-hand man Benji Dunn. Hayley Atwell plays Grace, a beautiful young master-thief and skilled pickpocket who becomes an Ethan ally and sort-of love interest for Cruise, Pom Klementieff plays Paris, a roguish, deadpan and deadly fighter who has joined Ethan’s team, and Ving Rhames appears as brilliant tech/biomedical genius who is a long-time friend and help to Ethan Hunt. They are joined by a host of familiar names, including Shea Wigham, Nick Offerman, Mark Gatiss, and Janet McTeer, in various supporting roles.

But the real star of this show, as always, is Tom Cruise, in those impossible stunt sequences. In every movie in the franchise, those stunts get bigger and wilder, topping the previous one, and MISSION IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING continues that mission well.

The stunt sequences are the major appeal of the series, and this one delivers. Thrilling, physics-defying sequences are abundant in this nearly three-hour long action thriller extravaganza. Stunt sequences take place in the air, with wing-walking on a pair of bi-planes, at at sunken sub in the freezing Arctic, and in numerous battles and fight scenes spanning the globe, either with Cruise battling a single foe or the whole team fighting a small army of baddies.

All the stunts and the effects are outstanding, and highly entertaining, even better than previous installments in the franchise. The thrilling, nail-biting underwater Arctic Ocean sequence is a highlight, where Cruise’s Ethan has to dive into a sunk sub to find an essential McGuffin to defeat the AI, risking life and limb in the freezing and dangerous environment of the deep ocean and on a shipwreck precariously balanced on the edge of a trench. Another thriller highlight is an air-borne, death-defying battle where Cruise’s Ethan chases bad guy Gabriel above a rugged African landscape – in biplanes.

Apparently eager to show off his physique, the aging Cruise gets nearly naked in two of these action sequences, including, mindbogglingly, in the frozen Arctic Ocean. Nothing is too preposterous in this franchise, which constantly tops itself with gravity-defying, physics-violating, and biologically-impossible thrillers, all performed reportedly by star Cruise.

These numerous stunt sequences, fight scenes and chase thrills periodically are interrupted by scenes of banter with his team, fizzy flirtations with the pretty pickpocket, and “I love you, man” emotional scenes with team members, particularly with Ving Rhames, as the tech genius who crafts a weapon that might defeat the evil AI. The whole thing takes place against a ticking clock, of course, as Ethan and the team race around the world to thwart the evil plan.

There are plenty of twists, lots of death-defying stunts, a few good guys (and baddies) lost along the way, and the whole thing is kept cooking along at a fast pace, although a few scenes could have been trimmed to reduce that excessive running time, mostly in some of the too-long emotional scenes between action sequences and a few extra fight scenes that don’t really advance the plot.

Still, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE – THE FINAL RECKONING delivers the over-the-top and top-the-last-one impossible stunt action, and plenty of Tom Cruise heroics, that fans of the franchise crave, whether this really is the final one or not.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE opens in theaters on Friday, May 23, 2025.

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: DEAD RECKONING PART ONE – Review

With this week’s release of an entry in a blockbuster action franchise the old adage of seven being a lucky number will truly be put to the test. Now it’s not the highest number franchise as we’ve gotten FAST X or the longest running like the big flick from almost two weeks ago, INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY (way back in 1981). Of course, we can add on the inspiration for this series, actually a TV series (overseen by Lucy…really) which exploded onto the airwaves way back in the prehistoric era (nah, merely 1966). Oh, but this “tentpole” has catapulted well past its “network” roots. Still, it’s tough not to hear that infectious theme music from Lalo Schifrin when taking in this rather long title (but thanks, Paramount, for being “upfront” about it) MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE. And now I’m seeing that sizzling fuse in my head.


Surprisingly this new installment doesn’t begin with the finale of another caper involving the IMF (Impossible Missions Force). Nope, we’re on board for the last cruise (‘natch) of an “invisible” Russian submarine. Advanced top-secret stealth capabilities really, completely undetectable. But not indestructible as two prized interlocking keys are left floating in its wreckage. This leads to a new mission, which he “chooses to accept”, for IMF ace Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), who is sent to the Namib desert for a deadly reunion with old cohort Ilsa Faust (Rebecca Ferguson). Soon he’s back in the States as a “hush-hush” meeting of “the Community” outlines the urgent need for said keys. It’s the only way to stop a now rogue AI program called “the Entity”, which has become sentient and desires to use the world wide web to take over the planet. Hunt’s boss Kitteridge (Henry Czerny) is present, along with his superior, DNI head Denlinger (Cary Elwes). Learning of Hunt’s involvement, he sends out a team led by Briggs (Shea Whigham) and Degas (Greg Tarzan Davies) to stop the IMF. Reuniting with his teammates and pals, Luther (Ving Rhames) and Benji (Simon Pegg), Hunt travels to the Abu Dhabi airport to intercept a key transfer. Said item is snatched away by pro pickpocket/ “drop-pocket” Grace (Hayley Atwell). But Hunt also has to deal with the return of an old enemy, the ruthless and deadly Gabriel (Esai Morales), who’s helping the Entity. This leads to a globetrotting race for the keys, with stops in Rome and Venice, battles with Gabriel’s aide, the deadly Paris (Pom Klementieff), and a tense showdown by another woman from Hunt’s past, Alanna AKA “the White Widow” (Vanessa Kirby). Eventually, everything and everyone converge on a heart-stopping ride aboard the Orient Express (with no Belgian master detective to help). Perhaps this is a mission that’s truly impossible.

This thriller boasts an impressive acting ensemble, but once again this is Mr. Cruise’s show. In the previous sextet, he’s more than proved his skills in selling spectacular action stunts. However, Ethan is not merely a “daredevil. We see some of his warmth and committment to his team, while forging a couple of possible romances. Plus he injects humor into these dire predictaments as he quickly “switches gears” when plans go awry, and even shows a sign of panic as he works up the “nerve” to plunge forward. And then Cruise shows us that the “superspy” is a man of principals when he decides to block the “higher-ups” who lust after the Entity. As mentioned earlier, his sometimes squabbling duo has is back. Rhames as Luther is often the wise and grounded elder mentor, sort of the “cool uncle” , while Pegg as Benji is the often over-excited and exasperated “kid brother” who only gets “in the field” when absolutely needed. Ferguson is quite dynamic and decisive as the skilled Faust, while Kirby is slinky and sexy as the unpredictable “wild card” Alanna. Probably the best of the “newbies” is Atwell, upending her MCU Peggy Carter persona, as the “in it for the bucks” Grace who slowly starts to regain her ethics due to the influence of the IMF and especially Hunt (and yes, there’s a playful chemistry between them). As for the “opponants”, Wigham and Davis are very good as the “by the books” partners who seem to always be a step or two behind Hunt, earning a begrudging respect from the elder agent. But the biggest “baddie” is Gabriel played with a chilling dead-eyed glare by Morales. He’s a near-unstoppable force of villainy, who doesn’t hesitate in inflicting violence against anyone, especially Hunt’s friends (it appears to be his only source of pleasure). A good counterpoint to this “weapon” is Klementieff’s Paris who does derive lots of joy from the chaos she creates. Czerny is quite effective as the morally ambiguous IMF chief, who seems to have his own sinister agenda, while Elwes is “carving a niche” for himself as a smarmy bureaucrat who’s in need of a comeuppance.

Taking the directing chair for the third time is Christopher McQuarrie who keeps the story moving with nearly as much energy as one of Cruise’s manic sprints (yup, he’s burning up the “shoe leather” once again) making it feel like half of its163-minute runtime. Yes, the bulk of the flick consists of several big action sequences, but McQuarrie doesn’t let them veer too much into the “silly” or needlessly repetitive. The Rome chase is full of twists and even allows for some nice “interplay” between Hunt and Grace (hear that, FAST X). And the “tiny car” comedy outdoes Indy’s trek in Tangiers. Speaking of Dr. Jones, the Orient Express train sequence easily bests the DIAL WWII prologue (which is perhaps its best moment). And the Venice “techno dance arena” here has more gravitas than the similar setting in the recent John Wick opus. But unlike many of those other recent blockbusters, there’s lots of fun to be had in between the fighting and driving as we get a greater understanding of the bond between the IMF, who now seems to be a mix of the A-Team, the Lone Ranger, the Magnificent Seven, and a touch of the Avengers (movies and TV show). Sure the locations are stunning, but the main selling point continues to be Cruise’s insistence in doing as much of the stunt work as possible. He wants us to know that he’s not “chilling” in his trailer. It’s almost as though he’s the modern-day version of the silent movie “thrill” comic actors. Of course, Jackie Chan touched on that with his Chaplin-like agility in his early career, but Cruise takes it a bit further. In GHOST PROTOCOL, he’s riffing on Harold Llyod in SAFETY LAST as he climbs that towering skyscraper. With the big railway finale here, I was reminded of Buster Keaton’s THE GENERAL. And like those classics, many of the scenes will have you gripping those armrests. In short, this is a most worthy addition to the series, mixing a “ripped from the headlines” menace/McGuffin (Y’know, AI “creating art”) with new locales and deadlier dangers. Oh, and again, extra kudos for stating that the story is continued, right up front in the titles and promotions. FAST X, ends on a cliffhanger leading to a couple more flicks (sheesh), and I love the new SPIDER-VERSE dearly, but they shouldn’t have lost the “sprayed-on graffiti-style” Part One after the first couple of teasers and a few toys. So, be like this flick and “put it out there”, studios! If only all the Summer blockbusters were as forthright, exciting, and fun as MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: DEAD RECKONING PART ONE. Now, when does two arrive?

Currently, the Mission series has grossed over $3.5 billion worldwide.

It’s hard to overstate the impact that Cruise’s Mission: Impossible franchise has had on action cinema over the decades, and how it has itself grown exponentially over the same period. “Mission had done a train sequence before, all the way back in the first film and a lot of that had been done on a stage. We wanted to do one that was practical. We wanted to build upon what was learned on that sequence and apply all of that knowledge to something practical and real,” McQuarrie says, speaking about one of the film’s many jaw-dropping action sequences, in which he and Cruise drive a real steam train off a blown-up bridge (more on that later). Over six installments and 27 years of the Mission: Impossible franchise, the character of Ethan Hunt has earned his place as one of Cruise’s most indelible creations. And, in Dead Reckoning Parts One and Two, the elite agent will be tested more than ever.

The filmmakers are not only delighted with what their approach has yielded thus far, but also thrilled with what they have yet to reveal. “In the next one, you will feel the world constantly expanding and you’ll go to places the franchise has never been. You’ll see parts of the world that you’ve never seen this way. And, frankly, some of them won’t exist for much longer,” McQuarrie says. “We have really, truly, taken this story to the edge of the world.”

If neither Cruise nor McQuarrie is yet prepared to reveal what ground-breaking stunt Cruise is preparing to pull off for audiences in the next movie, McQuarrie will at least confirm this: “The bike jump [in Dead Reckoning Part One] was far and away the most dangerous thing we had ever attempted. The only thing that scared me more than that stunt was what we had planned for Part Two.”

For now, though, what both men want is for audiences around the world to get ready to immerse themselves in a jaw-dropping story that they say makes this Mission: Impossible the most exhilarating, ambitious, and emotional installment so far. “I always knew there were things we could do better,” Cruise says of his near-three decade Mission journey. “There are always mountains to climb. But I really do believe that this movie is Mission in its highest gear. No one can be tougher on me than me. I have always set the bar high for myself and always expect a lot from myself. I never want to rest on any laurels in seeing how I can serve the audience.”

Cruise smiles, excited by what that audience is about to see, and by what he knows is coming next. “If I could be on a movie set every single day of my life, I would,” he says. “I am always pushing myself. I can’t help it, it’s in my nature.”

How Much Fun Must It Be To Be Tom Cruise – Watch And See The Actor Thank Fans For Seeing TOP GUN: MAVERICK And The New Extended Behind-the-Scenes Look At MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE

Tom Cruise has done it again.

Paramount+ announced in November the #1 film of 2022, TOP GUN: MAVERICK, will be available to stream globally on the service beginning Thursday, Dec. 22 in the U.S. 

The actor thanked fans in the only way this mega-star can and it’s spectacular!

And in October, CBS News reported that:

Tom Cruise’s next mission could make history. If the plans for an upcoming film come through, he would fly to space to film the moment where he helps save the planet. 

Donna Langley, chairman of Universal Film Entertainment Group, told the BBC in an interview last week that the 60-year-old “Mission Impossible” and “Top Gun” actor will be “taking the world to space.” 

“That’s the plan. We have a great project in development with Tom that does contemplate him doing just that,” she said, “taking a rocket up to the space station and shooting and hopefully being the first civilian to do a spacewalk outside of the space station.” 

Before this happens, the Oscar-nominated actor will perform the biggest stunt in cinema history in director Christopher McQuarrie’s MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE – DEAD RECKONING PART ONE – in theaters JULY 14, 2023. Check out this new Extended Behind-the-Scenes look at the film.
