CINEMA REVIEW SPECIAL: Mission: Impossible - Final Reckoning

This week, our four mulls headed to the cinema together to check out the 8th film in the Mission: Impossible franchise.  The movie version of this series started all the way back in 1996, with Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt - the IMF agent trusted to achieve any seemingly impossible mission.  From De Palma back in 96, then via John Woo, Brad Bird, and JJ Abrams, the mission movies have settled into the trusted hand of Cruise and writer/director Christopher McQuarrie.  

As huge fans of the series, and with word on the street that this might be Cruise's finale as Ethan, we were keen to see it opening weekend and see how this compares with the film conceived as Part 1 (2023's Dead Reckoning) and with the franchise as a whole. 

Listen in to hear about our hopes and expectations and then our thoughts about the film - recorded the minute we walked out of the screening! 

We've worked hard to be able to get this episode out to you on opening weekend, but we're also aware that because of those timings you might not have seen the movie yet, so we've tried to keep our post-screening chat as spoiler-free as possible, so you can listen safely. However, if you don't want to know anything at all about the film, then perhaps check it out at your local cinema and compare your views with our opinions afterwards! 

Let us know what you thought of the film using the comments or by finding us on social media.
