Review: Tom Cruise Holds the Key to ‘Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning’
- Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning, starring Tom Cruise and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, opened in theaters on May 23, 2025.
- The film follows events a few months after 2023's Dead Reckoning Part One and involves Ethan Hunt facing an AI called the Entity threatening global nuclear arsenals.
- The movie features lengthy action sequences including Cruise performing stunts like hanging off a biplane wing and swimming inside a sunken submarine's hull wearing a 45-kilogram dive suit.
- Running 170 minutes and rated PG-13, Final Reckoning includes callbacks to the first Mission: Impossible film and numerous Easter eggs for fans, but critics describe it as overlong and self-congratulatory.
- Despite the franchise's consistent action standards and Cruise's dedication, Final Reckoning's pacing and narrative weaknesses suggest it may serve as a concluding chapter rather than a revitalization.
