The film can be enjoyed as irrefutable proof of what can be done with this type of proposal when placed in the right hands. [Full review in Spanish]

FilmWeek (LAist)

Like a motorcycle leaping off a mountain, this movie has very high highs and very low lows... But as soon as the action started, especially the last action set pieces, I could've rolled right into the sequel immediately.

Despite having the second longest runtime in the franchise, “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One” feels like a lighter and fresher movie.

Film Disclosure

A vast improvement from the previous film, Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning is a showcase of Tom Cruise’s stunt prowess and contains plenty of eye-catching action sequences, but fails to properly stick the landing.

Rated: 3/5
