If you told me there were seven Mission: Impossible movies, I’d believe you. If you told me there were five, I would too. And I write that as someone who’s seen and mostly enjoyed all [checks notes] six of them.

But hell, it’s been 22 years of latex masks and quadruple crosses and tall structures for Tom Cruise to almost fall off—a person is bound to get confused. What Mission: Impossible – Fallout brings to the table is the best action choreography I’ve seen since Mad Max: Fury Road and a serviceably twisty espionage plot.
