Christopher McQuarrie proves to us again how the power of cinema escalates with the anticipated Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One. From the action scenes to the stunts that are appreciated with a different eye, thanks to Tom Cruise’s determination to create his own. McQuarrie once more takes the task in directing them plus keeping everyone safe.  

The Synopsis

In Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise, “Top Gun”) and his IMF team embark on their most dangerous mission yet: To track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. With control of the future and the fate of the world at stake, and dark forces from Ethan’s past closing in, a deadly race around the globe begins. Confronted by a mysterious, all-powerful enemy, Ethan is forced to consider that nothing can matter more than his mission – not even the lives of those he cares about most.

Every scene with Tom Cruise is appreciated knowing that he is doing all of his stunts. Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One delivers 110% in the action scenes. The narrow European tight car chase scenes have been done before, but McQuarrie and Cruise deliver at another level, and then take it up another notch with Cruise in the speeding train. However, the bike jump scene is the one that leaves us holding our breath. The disappointing parts may have been the character development of the villain in the film and also the running time at 2 hours and 43 minutes.

Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One is now in theaters, Dobly Cinema and Premium Large Format.
