What Are The Critics Saying About ‘Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning’?
The film received a 7½-minute ovation this evening in Cannes.
Cruise was present in Cannes alongside director Christopher McQuarrie and co-stars Hayley Atwell, Angela Bassett, Hannah Waddingham, Greg Tarzan Davis, Simon Pegg, Pom Klementieff, Esai Morales, and Tramell Tillman. “The callbacks and in-jokes require a fair bit of knowledge, since they span the franchise’s whole lifetime in unexpected ways, but it’s pretty easy to pick up all the jigsaw pieces and, when it really gets going, immediately forget all about them,” Wise wrote. In a review titled Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning’ Review: Hollywood’s Greatest Action Franchise Saves the Worst for Last, David Ehrlich writes: “ The Final Reckoning is framed as a consequence of the choices that Ethan has made in the past, and while that approach results in two of the cleverest ret-cons in blockbuster history (both of which do a silly but satisfying job of tying the whole franchise together), it has the unfortunate side effect of forcing the film to haltingly dramatize — and thereby diminish — the same tensions that Tom Cruise has latently seeded into every stunt, sprint, and hard stare over the course of the previous seven movies.”
