Greg & Joe dive deep into the 7th Mission:Impossible film to prepare for the 8th movie, AKA the most exciting thing in 2025.
Joe’s Back of the Box
Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is back and facing his most challenging foe yet a sentient AI called the Entity. Now in a race to keep the only means of stopping the Entity out of the hands of those who want to control it for their own gain, Ethan and his gang of misfits and thieves must do the impossible yet again. Heros will fall, blood will be spilled, villains will change, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. The mission, should you choose to accept it, is no less than saving human kind…
The REAL Back of the Box
Tom Cruise rides a motorcycle without a helmet, runs very fast over a long distance, and almost cries so that you can see tears welling in his eyes. Now that that is out of the way we can talk about Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, which is basically the plot of Fast 7. It’s almost like they said, we can do that, but better. And they are mostly right. Like all movies setting up a grand finale, it leaves the viewers stuck in the liminal space of Mission Impossible movies. That said the three main set pieces which include an airport, the streets of Venice, and a train are spectacular. It might not reach the heights of action that Mission Impossible Fallout does, it is not far behind in what is proving to be one, if not, the greatest action film series’ ever.
