Mission:Impossible - Dead Reckoning - Part One
Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) & his Impossible Mission Force team are back with more thrills, chills, spills, fun, & games using masks, deceit, misdirection, & sleight of hand. See Tom run. Run Tom, run. Tom takes a lickin’ & keeps on tickin’. It’s old faces… Luther (Ving Rhames), Benji (Simon Pegg), Ilsa (Rebecca Ferguson), & the White Widow (Vanessa Kirby)… and it’s new faces… Grace (Hayley Atwell), Paris (Pom Klimentieff), & Gabriel (Esai Morales)… a talented pickpocket who can’t drive, a devilish assassin/henchman, & a terrorist who always seems 2 steps ahead. The 2 hour 43 minute runtime is hardly noticeable as the spectacular & mesmerizing chase/stunt/combat scenes will override your sense of time. Hunt’s IMF team is again labeled as going rogue as they search worldwide for the keys & the location of the weapon that threatens world domination. It’s wild action as cars, motorcycles, & trains are destroyed. This is a game of choices so choose wisely or it may cost a life. It’s not a cliffhanger but what is coming up in Part Two, hopefully we will know by next summer.
