Critical Review of Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning
Brett opens his review with a mixture of enthusiasm and critique, acknowledging that Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning attempts to serve as the franchise's swan song but struggles under certain storytelling and pacing issues. He humorously laments the franchise's tendency to blur together, joking that characters and actors often get mixed up—Simon Peg is Simon, not Benji, and Ving Res is Ving Rams, not Luther. This reflects a broader criticism: the films tend to run together in a way that only the charisma and over-the-top antics of Tom Cruise can elevate.
