Review: Tom Cruise Holds the Key to ‘Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning’

  • Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning, starring Tom Cruise, opened in theaters on May 23, 2023, with a runtime of about 170 minutes.
  • The film follows Dead Reckoning Part One and features Ethan Hunt’s team confronting a superintelligent AI called the Entity, with antagonist Gabriel returning as played by Esai Morales.
  • It includes numerous callbacks and Easter eggs from the franchise, showcases two major stunts including Cruise hanging from a biplane wing, and has a lengthy, scenic climax reflecting old-school action.
  • Critics note the movie's 170-minute length and cartoonish villains while praising Cruise’s stunt work as standout elements delivering high-wire thrills.
  • The film exemplifies Cruise’s enduring star power but also exposes franchise fatigue through an overextended story and self-referential tone, suggesting it might be the series' closing chapter.
