Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning

2025

★★★★ Liked Watched

Listen here - I’ll it I was not looking forward to this beforehand. As someone who’s really enjoyed this franchise and had largely believed each new entry was better than the last, Dead Reckoning was the first time I felt a massive step down and it was a real disappointment at the time, to the point where I scarcely had good faith in this (potentially final) entry.

ENDS takes huge swings by playing with audience expectations and delivering an intriguing and fresh story that feels bold and way more consistently engaging than KILLS ever did. Sure, this one isn't even a slasher until the second half,…
