Movie review - "Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1" (2023) ***

 The title was a turn off I feel. Part One... come on... Couldn't they come up with two stories? It feels a little ruthless to introduce another slim long haired woman with a shady past to fall for Tom Cruise, and have her in the same film as Rebecca Ferguson, then to kill off Rebecca Ferguson.

There's too much talk about keys and the dark and shade and how it's all changed and who is good anyway etc etc etc... because these films who is good is really kind of simple, it's Tom Cruise and hisffriends.

Anyway there are still decent twists and turns, I love Chris MacQuarrie gets to show off his love for The Train and The Great Escape, the action is splendid, Cruiser is Cruisier. I just wish they'd told it in one movie that's all.
