Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One

It seems Tom Cruise has the Midas touch – every movie he works on turns to box office gold. There have been exceptions but few and far in between. His seventh instalment in the Mission Impossible franchise should prove to be very profitable as anticipation builds worldwide.

Tom Cruise reprises his role as Ethan Hunt who along with his IMF team venture off on their most dangerous mission to date. They must locate an extremely dangerous weapon because if it falls into the wrong hands the future of the Earth will be at stake.

And so the race is on around the globe to countries including Italy, Switzerland, and the United Emirates to find this weapon, a key which could unlock dark forces causing devastation for humanity.

The secret to the success of this franchise is that each movie tops the next in terms of incredible action sequences, death defying stunts, twists and turns, and storylines which are so outrageously implausible, yet satisfyingly enjoyable.

At a running time of 2hr 43mins restlessness never sets in owing to the high volume of fight and action sequences. The car chase sequence throughout the ancient city of Rome made edge-of-your-seat viewing, leaving audiences gasping for air and pondering how much work must go into pre-production for such sequences where perfect timing is of essence.

Fans of this franchise won’t be disappointed. This is such an insanely impossible mission and that’s what moviegoers expect – the more ludicrous the storylines, the higher the enjoyment level.

Tom Cruise has several credits to his name in this production – he stars in and serves as producer and also reportedly performs his own daring stunts.

Mr Cruise can do no wrong! This movie is going to be huge and the second part will arrive in cinemas in late 2024.
