The highly anticipated eighth installment of the iconic spy series, “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,” hits cinemas this Wednesday. Tom Cruise reprises his role as Ethan Hunt, who races against time to thwart a rogue artificial intelligence known as the Entity, which poses a dire threat to humanity.
In this latest chapter, audiences can expect an array of impressive stunts. Even more impressively, Cruise, who’s 62, does almost all of these jaw-dropping sequences himself, including one where he hangs from a helicopter. The film’s promotional materials—from social media accounts to the recently released trailer—have focused squarely on the death-defying action that has made it so beloved by fans.
Now critics have begun to sound off on the film in advance of its release. John Nugent from Empire raves about the film’s intensity, stating, “Your jaw will detach and your palms will leak sweat.” This feeling might be because of the high stakes and adrenaline-filled action sequences that rule the film.
Peter Bradshaw from the Guardian awarded “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” a perfect five stars, describing it as “wildly entertaining.” His review highlights not only the film’s action-packed moments but its ability to engage viewers from start to finish. In like fashion, Clarisse Loughrey of the Independent gave the film four stars and professed her love for the film by stating that she “adored it.”
As part of a long-running series that has captivated audiences for over two decades, “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning” promises to deliver both familiar elements and fresh thrills. The rest of the film maintains that personal dimension, as Hunt and his teammates repeatedly risk their lives and identities to save one another and innocent lives.
