Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning

"You couldn’t ask for a better death-defying, free-falling, edge-of-your-dang-seat sendoff."

"Another high-voltage, gargantuanly envisioned test of Cruise’s bodily limits."

"Tom Cruise, we salute you. Mission accomplished."

"Flat-out ridiculous, but it’s a model example of blockbuster entertainment at its most highly polished..."

"Struggles to strike the right balance between context and conflict."

"...awe-inspiringly bananas piece of work."

"Stop talking to me! Nobody cares about the MacGuffin. Stage a car chase on the Great Wall of China. Abseil down the Eifel Tower. What do you think we’re paying you for?"

"The sort of lumbering titan that feels perfectly fitting."

"A wildly silly, wildly entertaining adventure which periodically gives us a greatest-hits flashback montage of the other seven films..."

"Somewhere into the nearly three-hour runtime, the movie passes that crucial point where a critic stops taking notes and decides to simply enjoy themselves."

""Nauseating!” is hardly something they put on a poster, but believe me when I say it is the best possible compliment."

"The good news is that Final Reckoning does eventually recover from the calamity of its first hour to give us an entertaining, if still messy, Mission: Impossible movie."

"Leans into the absurdism that underlies the franchise’s appetite for escalation."

"A disappointing farewell with a handful of high points courtesy of the indefatigable lead actor."

"Good enough to remind you how much fun it is when something is truly at stake in a high-flying, twisty-plotted, solemnly preposterous popcorn movie."

"You couldn’t ask for a better death-defying, free-falling, edge-of-your-dang-seat sendoff."
