Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023) Movie Thread

Love the MI series, all of them have been cracking movies imo, apart from the much-maligned 2nd one. That was terrible, but all others have been great.

I think the 3rd one is still my favourite. The late Philip Seymour Hoffman put in a superb villain performance in that outing and the supporting cast (I think it was Simon Pegg's first appearance in the series) were all very good too.

The second film was awful. The last fight scene is fairly cringing. Especially the part when he kicked up the gun from the sand and get the perfect shot off whilst the bad guy just looked at him.

I also enjoyed the third one the best. The rabbit's foot.

That is how to do a trailer for an action movie. Whatever about Tom Cruise being a bit of a nut job in Scientology, the man knows how to do action.

That is nuts!

Whatever your thoughts on Tom Cruise as a person you have to give him credit for doing his own crazy stunts.

I had to wiki this to make sure he is really this old. Wow. Puts most stuntmen to shame.

The man is an absolute fruit loop, and the Scientology stuff is hateful, but I can't help being impressed with his stunts and he really does know how to make a movie.

The M:I franchise is awesome and I can't wait for this new one.

Yeah he's a complete lunatic, and I recall Leah Remini was far from complimentary about him when asked what he was like in her documentary, but holy shit it makes for some great entertainment.

I'd imagine the fact that he's basically revered as a godlike figure in Scientology and they surround him with "Yes" people means he thinks he's probably fecking immortal at this stage.
