Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning
When news came that Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning might be the final film in a 19 year old franchise, I had hoped this would be a fitting conclusion to Tom Cruise's tenure as Ethan Hunt but alas the critics were not kind upon its release in 2025. And, sadly, I was not exactly surprised as this was the second half to the lacklustre Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning from 2023, which set the scene on rocky foundations making it hard for director Christopher McQuarrie to turn things around. But I still went into this hoping to be entertained and, on that basis, I wasn't too disappointed. The film prior to this saw Hunt trying to stop an AI force, known as The Entity, from unleashing chaos on the world and The Final Reckoning sees the team continue that mission as their enemy comes close to igniting a nuclear war. Cue Cruise running left, right and centre across the world and against the clock once more! Unfortunately, The Final Reckoning's flaws quick...
