Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 Review: IMF Agent Ethan Hunt and his trusted associates embark on a new mission aka an artificial intelligence technology called “The Entity,” which has the power to distort the truth via digital warfare

Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 released in India on July 12
This seventh entry of the long-running, super-successful action-spy-thriller franchise, written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie, loosely based on the television series created by Bruce Geller, has Ethan Hunt (a 60-plus Cruise) and his IMF team trying to track down a dangerous weapon (an AI-linked two-part cruciform Key), before it falls into the wrong hands. The weight of the world’s (India receives a mention too) future is on Hunt’s shoulders. Studded with thrillingly realised death-defying action set pieces and flashy spectacle, the screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie and Erik Jendresen, which reworks crucial elements from ‘JAG’, ‘Citadel’, ‘Fast X’, James Bond movies, and many other spy thriller series, raises the wholesome participation of Cruise to mythic levels.
IMF Agent Ethan Hunt and his trusted associates, Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) and Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames) embark on a new mission aka an artificial intelligence technology called “The Entity,” which has the power to distort the truth via digital warfare, that threatens the future of human civilization.
