'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning' Review: Mind-Blowing Action Overcomes a Clichéd Narrative

Audiences won't have to wait until July to see Superman in action. Tom Cruise's eighth turn as Ethan Hunt in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning gives the ageless secret agent an invincible veneer with mind-blowing action scenes and epic set pieces that shred any suspension of disbelief. His previous heroics are peanuts compared to this nearly three-hour opus of cliché-ridden franchise retrospection, which is borderline comical in its onslaught of death-defying escapes. There's a point where gravitas evaporates, but the production's sheer magnitude cannot be denied — it ticks every box for a summer blockbuster.
