With the awe-inspiring Mission: Impossible—Dead Reckoning Part One, Tom Cruise once again puts his life on the line to thrill us. SinacoLad's review:
defines all Tom Cruise is and will ever be, arguably charting—in the language of death-defying action and in the voice of Hollywood A-lister beatitudes—the whole arc of contemporary blockbuster franchise filmmaking. Recovering with his team of Impossible Mission Force agents following one of the worst catastrophes they’ve yet faced, Ethan Hunt admits to a new team member that, while he can’t guarantee he will keep them safe, he can guarantee that he’ll care more about their lives than his own.
, where Cruise mined his past with both eyes on his legacy to achieve the clearest pinnacle of his career, the weight of what exactly Cruise is doing with his life feels thrillingly heavy.reckon with his legacy? That’s not this one’s job.
Briggs is on Ethan’s trail yet again due to the personal overtaking the geopolitical, when Kittridge sends Hunt to Dubai to find a unique two-part key that “unlocks”…something…and Hunt never returns. Only a shadowy, malevolent, seemingly invisible villain from Ethan’s past knows what the key can do, though every government on earth wants the key to, they assume, gain control of the Entity, an AI that’s developed self-awareness and, in Luther’s superhacker parlance, is capable of being anybody.
Kittridge tells Hunt that half of the key is in the possession of Ilsa Faust , a former MI6 agent dear to Ethan’s heart, while the other half is still in the wind. Oh, also, there’s a $50,000,000 bounty on Ilsa, because someone always wants our heroes—the people Ethan loves—dead. Ethan would never let anyone collect on that bounty, so of course he finds the key half but refuses to return to Kittridge, thus setting in motion the now-expected disavowal on behalf of the U.S.
So where does Ethan Hunt end and Tom Cruise begin? Cruise’s idealistic movie character swearing to throw his flesh in the way of fate is perhaps the sincerest soul-bearing we’re likely to get from the guy.
