Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning Review: When it is all on the Line!

Director: Christopher McQuarrie
Writers: Bruce Geller, Erik Jendresen, Christopher McQuarrie
Based on Mission: Impossible by Bruce Geller
Starring: Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Henry Czerny, Angela Bassett
Genre: Action, Adventure, Thriller
Rating: PG-13

When it is all on the line and all on your Shoulders!

Director Christopher McQuarrie’s new thriller Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning brings it all together as Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise), IMF agent and team leader, comes back on board to help the United States save the world.

As the sequel to Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, The Final Reckoning does an excellent job of tying everything together and giving a good understanding of how and why Ethan is in the position he is in.

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning is a good film with a lot of entertaining action scenes. Especially Ethan and Gabriel stunts running and jumping from and to airplanes, hanging off airplanes.

Christopher McQuarrie’s director has brough the Mission Impossible franchise to an incredible eighth installment. Cinematographer Fraser Taggart helps create a formidable setting providing compelling scenes in the film. Writers Bruce Geller, Erik Jendresen, Christopher McQuarrie created a script with unpredictability and credible dialogue and plots. Eddie Hamilton’s editing allows for the effortless flow from scene to scene. Max Aruj’s music works well with the scenes adding to the suspense and intrigue of the movie. The lighting and ambience help to create a bleak and hopeless situation, providing gloom and doom to back-up the gravity of the situations.

The film locations add another level of excitement as you watch Ethan run for his and the life of the world through Malta, Norway, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. And having the opportunity to actual shoot on the aircraft carrier George H.W. Bush in Apulia, Italy certainly helps carry the story along.

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning puts Ethan in the middle of the bullseye and he puts his life all on the line to help save the United States and the world. A very entertaining movie that keeps you engaged. A film worth seeing.

With his capable team in place, that includes Grace (Hayley Atwell), an ally of Ethan; Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) a computer technician and Ethan’s best friend, Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg), an IMF technical field agent; Gabriel (Esai Morales), an assassin and who was the go-between for the Entity. Paris (Pom Clementine), a French assassin who helps Ethan to kill Gabriel; Eugene Kittridge (Henry Czerny), the director of the CIA from Dead Reckoning, Erika Sloane (Angela Bassett), former CIA director, now President of the United States; Serling Bernstein, (Holt McCallany), Secretary of Defense, Walters (Janet McTeer), Secretary of State; General Sidney (Nick Offerman), Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Rear Admiral Neely (Hannah Waddingham), the head of an aircraft carrier; Captain Bledsoe (Tramell Tillman), the commander of a rescue submarine; Jasper Briggs/Jim Phelps Jr:  (Shea Whigham), A US Intelligence agent assigned to track down Ethan and his team. Son of Ethan's former team leader turned nemesis, Jim Phelps; Greg Tarzan Davis as Theo Degas, A US Intelligence agent; Richards (Charles Parnell), the DNI, and head of the NRO; Angstrom (Mark Gatiss), Head of the NSA; William Donloe (Rolf Saxon), a CIA analyst who was last seen in the first film being transferred to Alaska; Tapeesa (Lucy Tulugarjuk), Donloe's wife;  Kodiak (Katy O'Brian), a naval soldier on board the submarine; Pills (Stephen Oyoung as), a naval soldier on board the submarine; (Mariela Garriga as), a woman from Ethan and Gabriel's past, seen in a brief flashback; Captain Koltsov (Pasha D.
