REVIEW SUMMARY
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning may not be the epic conclusion fans hoped for, or the best film in the franchise, but it's, without a doubt, a worthy and emotionally satisfying sendoff. Despite some pacing issues and an overload of exposition, Christopher McQuarrie and Tom Cruise succeed through audiovisual spectacle, thematic richness, and an unmatched commitment to the legacy they represent. If this really is the end (something always doubtful in Hollywood), then what a beautiful, heartfelt goodbye it is. Thank you, Ethan Hunt. And thank you to everyone who made this mission possible.
