Cruise's action adventure is a triumph, full of physical jeopardy and Hollywood setpieces par excellence.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 18, 2024

Blending a good mix of easily identifiable stakes and intricate psychological strategizing that feels like six dimensional chess at times, it is a film with constant momentum and breakneck pacing.

| Jul 19, 2024

The fact that the now 61(!)-year-old Cruise is still willing to push his physical limits to this level for the sake of doing cool stuff on screen is as admirable as it is truly insane.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jul 12, 2024

The movies are built around death-defying showcases of suspense and bravado that grow increasingly more mind-boggling with each sequel.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 7, 2024

Dead Reckoning is a victim of its own high standard. By now, we know how superlative the Mission: Impossible series can be. Anything less feels like a step down, and a step down felt unthinkable until now.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 3, 2024

The film’s dense, fast-moving cold open harkens back to the franchise’s roots as a Cold War-era spy series.

If anything the potential dangers of AI are even more in the news now than when the film was shot, making it feel bang up to date.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 2, 2024

A fading echo of Hawksian professionalism and humanism...

| Mar 8, 2024

Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie have perfected their formula: cram so much action in that audiences don't care how repetitive the plots have gotten.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 25, 2024

Tom Cruise runs and jumps and flings himself off of and into things for our enjoyment, as always. Just a big and loud summer blockbuster in all the ways a big and loud summer blockbuster should be.

alternates between big action set-pieces and more suspenseful character-driven standoffs, which gives the film an invigorating rhythm that keeps you glued

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 18, 2023

The action is so extraordinary (and surprisingly, at times, really really funny) throughout this epic, gasp-inducing global adventure that any hesitation to recommend would be a disservice to the spirit of excitement that movies so rarely achieve anymore.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 13, 2023

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One seemed a bit ambitious with its lengthy run time and a cliffhanger ending. By the time the credits rolled, it’s clear the franchise can go as long as Cruise and McQuarrie want it to at this point.

| Original Score: 10/10 | Dec 9, 2023

A solid new entry with plenty of astonishing set-pieces.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 12, 2023

Dead Reckoning delivers most of everything that series fans could want, though it’s still only half a film.

| Nov 10, 2023

"Dead Reckoning Part One" is honestly only as great as it is thanks to each film that came before it. So wherever this film may fall on a series ranking list, it owes all of its successes to the work done previously.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Nov 3, 2023

It may not have the strongest storyline of the lot, but it serves it well enough, giving you all the thrills we've come to expect from the series.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 30, 2023

The movie delivers an extraordinary production that has a few minutes worthy of the action movie hall of fame... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 27, 2023

Overlong if enjoyably bonkers, there's also an undercurrent of chaos, with bits of key turning up everywhere; at times it felt like there were enough for everyone to have a spare set. 

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 27, 2023

McQuarrie and Cruise deliver thrills that have us sweating in our seats as we vicariously feel – not watch, or sense, but feel – the danger... That’s why we’re here.
