Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning - Part 1 (2023)

 The 'Mission Impossible' films remain the most consistently high quality vehicles for Hollywood action spectical today. Tom Cruse's signature stunt work and elaborate set pieces, highlights here being a Roman car chase, around a half hour on a train, and that motor cycle jump off a mountain. Regulars Ving Rhams, Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson return, new additions include Hayley Atwell, Pom Alexandra and Esai Morales. While the plots don't really matter a whole lot here, they are at least reasonably intelligent. The main villain of the piece is reveled before the title sequence, so it's arguably not a spoiler, but I'll just say I think we will be seeing alot of this type in the near term. Worth seeing on the big screen. ***1/2
