Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025)

Written by r96sk on June 6, 2025

'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' is up there for being the most I've enjoyed a M:I movie, it's certainly in the top four anyway. It probably is a touch overlong, though I can't say I ever felt bored through the 2hrs 50mins. It's packed with action, so no surprise.

Tom Cruise is, as we've seen across the prior seven installments, excellent in the role of Ethan Hunt. Those with him here are very good, but there's no doubt Cruise is the glue. Speaking of the rest, Ving Rhames gets a nice arc, while Hannah Waddingham and Tramell Tillman have good bits.

It was never* one of my favourite franchises, but I still enjoyed every entry of 'Mission: Impossible' to a fairly high level; fwiw, I scored every release at 8/10 - a very consistent series, evidently. Happy I (belatedly) got to see one of 'em on the big screen too.

*assuming this is the end - it probably isn't, knowing how studios tend to be but we'll see
