MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE - FALLOUT EARLY REVIEWS: ONE OF THE BEST ACTION MOVIES EVER?

CRITICS SO FAR HAIL THE LATEST ETHAN HUNT ADVENTURE AS NOT ONLY THE BEST OF THE SERIES, BUT POSSIBLY AN ALL-TIME GREAT.

The last couple Mission: Impossible sequels are among the best-reviewed movies of Tom Cruise’s career. Now the latest looks to join them, because Mission: Impossible – Fallout is getting raves from most critics. As of this writing, the sixth installment, which is again directed by Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation’s Christopher McQuarrie, has a 93% Tomatometer score. This is just one of those franchises that has been consistently better with age.
Here’s a breakdown of the first reviews of Mission: Impossible – Fallout:

---

IS THIS THE BEST MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE MOVIE YET?

The franchise’s best entry to date…Fallout raises the stakes and improves on its predecessor in all the best ways.
– George Simpson, Daily Express

The new film has shockingly improved upon the series in almost every conceivable way. It’s not only one of the best installments in the M:I canon, but one of the best action movies of the century so far.
– Conner Schwerdtfeger, CinemaBlend

Just when you think Rogue Nation may have been too tough an act to follow, Fallouttakes it to yet another level.
– Fred Topel, Monsters and Critics

WAIT, DOES IT GO BEYOND JUST BEST MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE MOVIE?

Mission: Impossible — Fallout is one of the best action movies ever made.
– David Ehrlich, IndieWire

It restores your occasionally shaky faith in summer blockbusters.
– Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly

It raises the bar for every action film to come after it.
– Yolanda Machado, Sassy Mama in LA

WHAT DOES THIS MOVIE DO FOR THE FRANCHISE AS A WHOLE, THEN?

Fallout does nothing if not cement Mission: Impossible as the greatest franchise we currently have.
– Karen Han, Slashfilm

Mission: Impossible is clearly the best ongoing action franchise in the world. And nothing else even comes close.
– Matt Singer, ScreenCrush

Fallout also shows the franchise straining itself to stay vital and fresh after twenty-two years and five previous films.
– Jim Vejvoda, IGN

JUST HOW GREAT IS THE ACTION?

The action scenes are stupefyingly awesome. Mission Impossible: Fallout is a near overdose for the action junkie.
– Julian Roman, MovieWeb

The Paris set-piece is a car chase in the same way that Mad Max: Fury Road is basically a car chase.
– Helen O’Hara, Empire Magazine

Fights are visceral, and we feel every punch. The car and motorcycle chases leave us panting, and a dazzling aerial sequence feels like the visceral terror of falling out of a plane.
– Kimber Myers, The Playlist

A bathroom brawl between Hunt, Walker, and a key bad guy might be the best fistfight in any of the six Mission: Impossibles.
– Matt Singer, ScreenCrush

The third act is a thrill ride leaving you clutching the armrest to the very end… Every last second is stretched to maximum effect leaving you exhausted at the end.
– Alan Ng, Film Threat

You’ll probably leave the theater overcome with an urge to go jumping from building to building.
– Mike Ryan, Uproxx

IS TOM CRUISE JUST IMMORTAL?

As I watched Cruise sweat and pant and grimace like he was on the verge of death, I caught myself mouthing the words “How is Tom Cruise still alive?”
– Angie Han, Mashable

McQuarrie treats Ethan Hunt more like a rag doll than a superhero action figure, letting his face turn tomato-red and his blood vessels pop as he screams “NONONONO!” during every close call.
– Matt Patches, Polygon

Fallout stands out as one of the most thoroughly-impressive physical performances that Cruise has ever delivered.
– Conner Schwerdtfeger, CinemaBlend

Unlike do-their-own-stunt exemplars such as Buster Keaton and Jackie Chan, there’s nothing generous or uplifting about Cruise’s jaw-dropping exploits.
– Keith Uhlich, Slant

---

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE ROOM TO SHINE?

[Rebecca Ferguson is] electric when she gets her due, which is relatively often, as McQuarrie tries to work in a little something for everyone here.
– Conor O’Donnell, The Film Stage

Both [Henry Cavill and Rebecca Ferguson] match Cruise punch-for-punch in the action arena.
– Angie Han, Mashable

The real scene-stealer here is Vanessa Kirby as the White Widow.
– Jim Vejvoda, IGN

The supporting cast of Fallout are dreadful.
– Christopher Hooton, The Independent

---

HOW DOES THE MOVIE TREAT ITS FEMALE CHARACTERS?

(Photo by Paramount Pictures)

They are presented as capable. independent women who are good at their jobs, rather than damsels in need of rescuing. In fact, they’re usually the ones doing the saving.
– Anne Cohen, Refinery29

The women of this world are given standout moments to shine, demonstrating their mental and physical acumen.
– Courtney Howard, Fresh Fiction

If the camera pans across a woman’s body, it isn’t to check her out, it’s to show the capability of how she uses her body and strength, and she is given her own narrative, regardless of who she is to Ethan.
– Yolanda Machado, Sassy Mama in LA

---

WHAT ELSE IS GREAT ABOUT THIS MOVIE?

It’s also really clever… McQuarrie layers character moments in the unlikeliest ways.
– Helen O’Hara, Empire Magazine

Cinematographer Rob Hardy (Ex Machina, Annihilation) does an incredible job, truly Oscar worthy.
– Julian Roman, MovieWeb

McQuarrie finds plenty of moments to favor the symphonic poetry of [Lorne] Balfe’s work over the rat-a-tat-tat of gunfire, enveloping the audience on another level.
– Courtney Howard, Fresh Fiction

---

DOES IT LEAVE US WANTING MORE?

If the antics are as dizzyingly high-grade as Fallout’s, I eagerly welcome the next installment.
– Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair

As long as he’s willing to keep running in movies as wild as this, it’s a pleasure trying to keep up.
– David Crow, Den of Geek

They’re only making the next one difficult by succeeding this hard.
– Helen O’Hara, Empire Magazine

The action of Mission: Impossible - Fallout will have you gasping for air

Tom Cruise and writer-director Christopher McQuarrie were born to make this movie


ission: Impossible - Fallout shatters every bone in the body, crashes aircraft in blazes of glory, smashes pristine porcelain sinks to jagged bits, singes Henry Cavill mustache hairs, rips French infrastructure in two and defies the laws of physics with the glee of the Jackass crew.
What the sixth installment of Tom Cruise’s stunt-heavy spy franchise doesn’tbreak are the rules: Executed by Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation writer-director Christopher McQuarrie, Fallout uses film conventions, page-turner dialogue and precision action to write an IMAX-sized textbook on how to have a hell of a good time at the movies. Past Mission: Impossiblesequels have looked to aspects of the TV show and modern spy thrillers to find ways to subvert expectations. McQuarrie adapts the series’ lit-fuse title treatment into a two-hour movie, and every second thrills.
Previously, Cruise’s Ethan Hunt has dealt with the pressure of life-or-death missions and the government’s constant scrutiny of the IMF, his off-the-books intelligence organization. In Fallout, Hunt deals with hang-ups normally reserved for Superman: Is it more important to save one person or a million people? Must a hero always say yes to the job? What if it means putting people you love in the line of fire? McQuarrie leans harder into the franchise’s history than ever before — marathon M:I one through five if you have time — to ask big questions about the spy’s role on this planet.
True to the movie’s style, the filmmaker also finds a clever way to blurt out the thesis. Hunt’s arch-nemesis Solomon Lane — bearded, bruised, and bound in straps — gets under the spy’s skin with a simple question: “‘Your mission, if you choose to accept it’ ... have you ever said no?”
He has not, and his suffering is the audience’s gain.

Paramount Pictures

As we learn courtesy of an 8 mm film reel tucked inside a copy of The Odyssey,Hunt’s latest task is to eliminate “John Lark,” the code-named leader of a terrorist group known as The Apostles, who intend to annihilate humanity and spawn a New World Order. Unfortunately for Earth, The Apostles are in possession of three loads of weapons-grade plutonium, which Hunt lost in a botched deal intended to sniff out Lark. With a cloud of failure hovering over his head, the CIA intervenes and pairs the IMF veteran with bruiser assassin August Walker (Cavill), who prefers punching baddies’ heads over interrogating them for answers.
Aided by Benji (Simon Pegg) and Luther (Ving Rhames), and later Rebecca Ferguson’s Ilsa Faust, who returns from Rogue Nation with unfinished business, Fallout follows the Mission: Impossiblebeats as Hunt’s IMF squad delves deeper and deeper into the criminal underbelly — and rips off plenty of face masks in the process — to uncover the answers it needs before the clock ticks its final tock.
McQuarrie engineers the franchise’s simplest plot with the most complicated heist plans. The movie’s keystone sequence, a prisoner extraction set in the streets of Paris, involves a foot-soldier ambush, car-smashing stunts, multiple motorcycle chases and an unexpected coda of unnerving, close-proximity gunplay. Fear is the backbone of Fallout, summoned in the grand possibilities of nuclear holocaust and the gushing blood of an untreatable wound. It’s a movie that knows just how to turn the dramatic knife to maximize pain.
I don’t want to make Fallout sound too delicate. While the movie treats espionage as a tango, McQuarrie rivals Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol’s layered, large-scale visuals, with Cruise as the Wile E. Coyote answer to James Bond. A simple HALO-jump-to-the-landing-point operation becomes aerial hell as an electrical storm comes barreling through Ethan and August’s trajectory. The much-touted helicopter duel — which the trailers have obfuscated and preserved through trick editing, and which I certainly won’t spoil the beats of here — is shot in IMAX, which creates distance, momentum and diesel-laced sweat that practically splashes off the screen.
And while every M:I movie gives Cruise the chance to run, Fallout takes the athleticism to new heights. Specifically, to high-rise rooftops, where the star bursts across the London horizon like a T-1000 playing QWOP. McQuarrie beats the living shit out of Cruise because Cruise can take it.

Paramount Pictures

Though Fallout is one gasp-worthy stunt after the next, McQuarrie treats Ethan Hunt more like a rag doll than a superhero action figure, letting his face turn tomato-red and his blood vessels pop as he screams “NONONONO!” during every close call. The brutality is crucial to the movie’s meta success. Cruise is our most complicated movie star. Each time he throws himself into a new project — literally, in the case of the Mission: Impossible sequels — we’re forced to weigh his relentless commitment and charisma against a history of troubling off-screen behavior. McQuarrie’s relentless pace vacuum seals the experience of watching Fallout, as does the self-deprecating performance Cruise has been honing since Edge of Tomorrow (a movie McQuarrie rewrote for him).
Mission: Impossible - Fallout has its flaws: It’s slow to ascend, flimsy in more dramatic moments that hope we’re invested in long-term relationships, and a little too “Nolan-esque” for its own good (the worst offense: Lorne Balfe’s Hans Zimmer-lite score). But McQuarrie’s movie also seems aware, confident that minor sacrifices are what it takes to make set pieces pop, clever gags suspend our disbelief, and end this six-episode series with a bang.
While it’s not official, Mission: Impossible - Fallout feels like the grand finale of a mission that started in 1996 — complete with references to Brian de Palma’s original. Ethan Hunt is old. Tom Cruise is old! How many more times can the singular persona evade machine gun fire, crash a motorcycle, get up, then save the world? Fallout feels like the answer, and yet, Ethan Hunt can’t say no. Neither can we.
Mission: Impossible - Fallout hits theaters on July 27.
