Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning (2023) Review

Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning
Director: Christopher McQuarrie
Year: 2023
Director: US
Language: English

I have tremendous respect for Tom Cruise and his commitment to showmanship. His passion for giving the audience a spectacle that demands to be seen in theatres has no bounds. He is a creative force that pushes the envelope regarding breathtaking stunts that must be seen on the biggest screen to be appreciated.  Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning is a sight to behold. 

Ethan Hunt  (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team must track down  the keys to a dangerous weapon before it falls into the wrong hand.

Boasting several impressive action sequences, Dead Reckoning has an unrelenting pace that feels intense throughout. The cinematography is remarkable; giving us everything from vast desert landscapes to lush Swiss forests. The score is foreboding; it adds to the gripping atmosphere and adds keeps us to the edge on our seat.

The threat that has to be dealt with in this film is very relevant in 2023. Essentially an AI has gone rogue & has access to every classified piece of information in the world. The stakes Tom Cruise & Christopher McQuarrie have set are incredibly high. If these two films are Cruises' Mission Impossible send-off, then it's one hell of a send-off.

Dead Reckoning is a film that absolutely must be seen in I-Max. It's popcorn munching entertainment at its best. Tom Cruise's career is winding down; we may only be getting a couple more years of him.
