In cinemas: Mission: Impossible – Death Rate, Part One
Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt for the seventh installment of the Impossible Mission Force adventures. In this first part, which lasts almost three hours, Ethan Hunt will have to face a new enemy, the artificial intelligence named Entity (Esai Morales). The game stars Pom Klementieff (Paris, an entity sidekick), Rebecca Ferguson (Ilsa Faust), Hayley Atwell (Grace, a well-known thief) and Vanessa Kirby (White Widow, aka Alanna Mitsopolis). “It’s not just the scale of the action or the danger of the maneuvers that matters, but the way it’s all filmed. A lot of close-ups allow you to feel the emotions of the characters and help develop the relationship between them. Without saying a word, Tom Cruise and Hayley Atwell step up their game. We watch them from our seats and hold our breath until the credits roll. Amazed, but impatient, we realize that we have until June 28, 2024 to catch our breath,” journalist Pascal LeBlanc told us in his review published on July 12.
