Fast, sleek, and fun, Mission: Impossible – Fallout lives up to the “impossible” part of its name by setting yet another high mark for insane set pieces in a franchise full of them.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout is the kind of movie that makes you want to jump out of your seat and join in on the action. Tom Cruise may be getting older, but he’s still pulling off stunts that make you wonder if he’s secretly a superhero. The plot keeps you on the edge of your seat, with one heart-pumping sequence after another. And let’s not forget the incredible cinematography and special effects that make you feel like you’re right there with the characters. This movie is a must-see for anyone who loves a good action flick, and even for those who don’t, because it’s just that good.

Ironically, the most entertaining element of all may be the star’s advancing age; Cruise, well into his 50s, scores numerous laughs as the increasingly confused CIA agent, leaping into one spectacular stunt after another and then wishing he hadn’t.

The thought crosses the mind: Where can it go from here? The answer is pretty much everywhere. It keeps on going and going, following one exciting sequence with another and then another.

I stayed to the final credit, in case there was a clever tag, but I didn’t feel cheated when there wasn’t one. I needed the time to catch my breath.

TOP CRITIC
F. Scott Fitzgerald said “action is character” — which, if true, means the Ethan Hunt we see in Fallout is the most complex movie character of all time.

Even in their sixth installment, the Mission: Impossible films remain a breath of fresh air amidst the CGI-fueled superhero spectacles of the summer.

Next Best Picture
With Fallout, McQuarrie delivers not only the best film in the franchise after De Palma’s slick original, but one of the great films of artfully photographed and technically monumental action.

Deep Focus Review
“It was the right amount of practical, with the slightly ‘oh, come on!’ experience, which is what I want in a movie. Cruise is better than never.”
