The ‘House of Dynamite’ sometimes feels like a documentary. I didn’t at all relax watching it because it feels like a prophecy.

Look up the story because there was a lot more harassment than the story briefly shows. If you judge a country because of a non story then you need to research more. Have a lovely evening.

Only for die-hard fans or franchise ‘completionists’. Everyone else? Save yourself the time. 0.5 out of 5 stars.
My next review may be Gladiator 2 🤣

A film more interested in selling the myth of Tom Cruise than telling a coherent story. If this is the "final reckoning," maybe it’s time the franchise actually reckons with itself—and calls it a day.

Take, for instance, the two simultaneous fight scenes—clearly echoing Inception’s zero-gravity van-rolling sequence. Instead of feeling
like homage, it came off as derivative. To sum it up: disjointed, overlong, and emotionally hollow.

As if director Christopher McQuarrie had run out of original ideas and decided to grab whatever inspirational references that were lying around.

The pacing was off, the stakes felt forced, and the transitions between scenes were jarring at best. There were plenty of nods to other movies, which I normally enjoy spotting. But
here, they felt worthless.

The whole thing felt like a disconnected series of sketches, loosely edited together with no narrative glue.
It was less of a story and more of a highlight reel designed to position Cruise as some sort of action-movie messiah.

development? None. The villain was a total blank slate. Whoever played him left zero impression—no menace, no intrigue, no complexity. I felt nothing. The film asked me to be emotionally invested, but didn’t give me a reason to be.

I’d already stopped caring. It felt like a PowerPoint presentation crafted by a film intern, desperately trying to remind us that Tom Cruise has been doing this for decades. Yes, Tom, we get it—you’ve made a lot of these MI films. But maybe just make this one good? Character dev d development? None.

Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning was such a slog that even my usual mental aids couldn't save it. Let’s start with that introduction—quite possibly the longest, most self-congratulatory montage ever slapped onto the start of a film. By the time the iconic Lalo Schifrin theme finally kicked in,

It’s just a typo. I think the word sociopath was intended.

A fever dream maybe. What are they thinking? I have repeatedly heard a chant from his supporters, as well as from similar far right supporters across the pond, e.g., Charlottesville: “Jews will not replace us”.
