Reel Review: Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is a high-octane, emotionally charged conclusion that brings Ethan Hunt’s story full circle. Tom Cruise is as charismatic as ever, performing eye-popping stunts at breakneck speeds, as the film carefully considers themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and legacy. Director Christopher McQuarrie orchestrates a globe-trotting adventure with suspense, practical effects, and high-stakes action. While the plot occasionally buckles under the weight of its ambition, the character beats and pacing elevate it beyond the typical blockbuster standard. As a culmination of one of the longest-running franchises in film history, The Final Reckoning is a bold, thrilling, and gratifying grand finale. Overall, I gave this a 7.8 out of 10.
