Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning Review
As Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning exhausts its arsenal of thrills, a question overshadows even Tom Cruise’s towering Ethan Hunt: Will this eighth, likely final chapter leave audiences craving more or feeling they’ve had their fill? The scales tip toward the latter.
Picking up from Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, this mission stumbles under heavy exposition, signaling a screenplay with gaps that needed patching before release. Characters endlessly talk to clarify the stakes, paving the way for Hunt’s pursuit of Gabriel (Esai Morales), who brazenly seeks to dominate “Entity,” a parasitic AI capable of obliterating humanity by infiltrating cyberspace and nuclear arsenals.
Hunt, alongside Luther (Ving Rhames), Benji (Simon Pegg), Grace (Hayley Atwell), and Paris (Pom Klementieff), scrambles to retrieve the Entity’s source code from a sunken Russian submarine and combine it with Luther’s “poison pill” to neutralize the AI. Failure means global annihilation.
While action abounds, not every sequence delivers the pulse-racing intensity needed to mask the script’s flaws. Christopher McQuarrie and Erik Jendresen’s writing struggles to gloss over the film’s plot holes and sluggish moments.
