J. R. Jones Chicago Reader Ironically, the most entertaining element of all may be the star's advancing age; Cruise, well into his 50s, scores numerous laughs as the increasingly confused CIA agent, leaping into one spectacular stunt after another and then wishing he hadn't. Dec 21, 2018 Full Review Mick LaSalle San Francisco Chronicle The thought crosses the mind: Where can it go from here? The answer is pretty much everywhere. It keeps on going and going, following one exciting sequence with another and then another. Dec 21, 2018 Full Review Michael Sragow Film Comment Magazine I stayed to the final credit, in case there was a clever tag, but I didn't feel cheated when there wasn't one. I needed the time to catch my breath. Sep 27, 2018 Full Review Sarah Vincent Sarah G Vincent Views Everyone else may be in it for the spectacle (the stunts, the foreign locations, the outfits), but for me, even in an action movie, the story is everything, and I needed a break to get through this one. May 21, 2025 Full Review Gayle Sequeira BFI By 2018, a franchise that began with Tom Cruise dangling from the ceiling of a Langley vault was dangling him off a 1,981-foot-high cliff, illustrating how Mission Impossible’s stunts have only gotten bigger, bolder and more bonkers. Nov 17, 2024 Full Review Brittany Patrice Witherspoon Pop Culture Reviews It didn’t seem like it was possible, but McQuarrie outdid himself and made an even better Mission: Impossible movie with Fallout.

Tyler Best action film I've seen in over a decade. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/23 Full Review Anthony great movie must see Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/25/22 Full Review Katie D exciting, captivating, suspenseful, and girl power! This film had high expectations, a huge budget, lots of hype, and it did not disappoint! Knowing that Tom does his own stunts makes it that much cooler to watch. I was on the edge of my seat for two and a half hours! The plot twists and complicated storylines were captivating, although I think Henry Cavill's character development could have used some more work. The music and sound effects were classic, appropriate and added to the scene without being overwhelmingly loud or distracting - no small feat! Also, I love the strong, powerful, badass women in this movie! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/15/21 Full Review SkyRo P The next installment I watched in the Mission: Impossible franchise was Fallout, starring (of course) Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt. This one also brings back Rebecca Ferguson as Ilsa Faust — and for once, we actually get a female character who sticks around for more than one movie. That never happens in this franchise, so I was impressed they kept her in the story. The movie is packed with action, adrenaline, and a really solid storyline that continues the momentum from previous installments. It doesn’t try too hard to wrap everything up neatly, and honestly, I liked that. You just sit back and enjoy the ride. Rebecca Ferguson really stands out here. She brings something fresh to the table — she’s strong, intense, and she earns her spot in this world. I’ll still say Keri Russell is my favorite female character in the Mission: Impossible series, but Ferguson definitely made her mark. And then there’s Tom Cruise. Say what you want about him off-screen, but when it comes to these movies, the man is all in. Doing his own stunts, staying committed to the role — it’s impressive, especially at his age. He knows how to deliver as both an action star and someone you can actually root for. My only real complaint? Still not over how bad the second movie was. 😂 But aside from that, Fallout was thrilling, sharp, and really entertaining. If you’re watching through the series, this one is a definite must-see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Jannel M Easily my favourite MI. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/25 Full Review Mike P Terrific Mission Impossible chapter; easily the best, this makes Final Reckoning and the others look like Scooby Doo Episodes. Hunt goes up against the evil Apostles; also rivals like Angela Bassett and a terrific Henry Cavill. Riveting and pitch-perfect from start to finish. Highly recommended.
