MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: THE FINAL RECKONING is perhaps the biggest, boldest swing the franchise has ever took. Stakes have never been higher, the plan has never been more multifaceted and intricate, and the villain has never been more crafty… They really went the extra mile to make this one truly feel like the *final* mission to end all missions…  and I’m happy to say that they absolutely knocked it out of the park here.

I truly loved how it really felt…

Don’t have much to say that I didn’t already cover in my initial reaction. I know many say this was a step down from the last two McQuarrie directed MISSION films but honestly I feel like things just get better and better for him. It’s simultaneously darker more funny than FALLOUT, with Ethan’s final trick against Gabriel being genuinely one of the funniest things I’ve seen in recent years.

Saw someone point out how McQuarrie‘s films seemed very much influenced…
