IT would be a stretch to say that Tom Cruise needs a hit. What this guy needs is an intervention, someone who can help the star once known as Tom Terrific return to the glory days, when the only things most of us really knew about him came from the boilerplate continually recycled in glossy magazines, sealing him in a bubble of blandness and mystery. In those days, we didn't know that inside the world's biggest movie draw lurked a reckless couch-jumper and heartless amateur pharmacologist. All we saw was a billion-dollar smile and a performer who risked life and limb, everything but his own true self, for our movie-going pleasure.
Until the ascendancy of George Clooney, the multi-hyphenated sex bomb (he walks, he talks, he smiles and he thinks!), few stars seemed to work harder than Mr. Cruise. The embodiment of the 1990's extreme ethos, he could be counted on to hang tougher than anyone else, whether doing his own stunts, spending a couple of years in production with Stanley Kubrick, or, as he did on more than one occasion, rescuing a civilian. Recently, though, all that extremeness has seemed, well, too extreme. And you have to wonder if the real mission in his newest film isn't the search for the damsel in distress or the hunt for the supervillain, but the resurrection of a screen attraction who has, of late, seemed a bit of a freak.
Aptly named or not, may emerge as Mr. Cruise's latest box-office triumph, but it won't do him any favors when it comes to his public persona, since it appears to have been explicitly tailored to reflect his personal life, or at least its outward face. As he has in the first two 'Mission' films, Mr. Cruise plays Ethan Hunt, a member of a stealth government agency, the Impossible Mission Force, who circumnavigates the world, blowing stuff up to wage battle against all manner of wickedness. Again he racks up miles (Berlin, Rome, Shanghai) and lights a few fuses, including that of a humorously decadent arms dealer, Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman), but this time he also has a main squeeze, Julia (the welcome if badly used Michelle Monaghan).
The overlap between a star's private and public selves can add frisson to the screen, especially when the luminaries are Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but it can prove deleterious, especially when it reeks of public relations. 'Mission: Impossible III' opens in medias res with a screaming match between Ethan, who's actually doing all the screaming, and Davian, who's holding a gun on a woman. 'I am going to kill you!' Ethan shouts, limbs bound and tendons jumping. Alas, before that happens, the director J. J. Abrams, who wrote the script with Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, backtracks to an engagement party, where, tendons at ease and smile blasting, Ethan is playing the aggressively jubilant fiancé, all but shrieking, 'I am going to marry her!'
Viewer, he does. In between communiqués with his agency superiors (Billy Crudup, Laurence Fishburne), a rescue mission (hence, Keri Russell from 'Felicity') and pyrotechnic larks with his newest team (Ving Rhames, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, the decorative Hong Kong transplant Maggie Q), Ethan settles into domesticity, an endeavor interrupted when Julia is kidnapped by a malevolently aggrieved Davian. Mr. Hoffman isn't given all that much to do in the film, but what he does is choice. With a sneer in his voice and a lazy slouch that telegraphs world-weariness of the most misanthropic kind, he creates an ice-blooded creature who seems as if he would like nothing better than to destroy the earth, and with as much human suffering as possible. The too-few scenes of Mr. Hoffman going directly up against Mr. Cruise are particularly tasty.
Continue reading the main storyMr. Hoffman enlivens 'Mission: Impossible III,' which otherwise droops, done in both by the maudlin romance and by Mr. Abrams's inability to adapt his small-screen talent — evident in his capacity as the television auteur behind 'Alias' and 'Lost' — to a larger canvas. The action remains consistently lackluster despite the usual frantic editing and several stunts that should pop off the screen. Typical of Mr. Abrams's difficulty in getting a grip on big-screen action is an extravagant feat that finds Ethan BASE-jumping from one high-rise to another, a stunt that, because it was filmed mostly in extreme long shot and at night, might as well have been executed by Spider-Man's computer-generated avatar. A daytime battle on a bridge works better, largely because you can see Mr. Cruise panting amid the bullets and mayhem.
Although he slams into stationary objects with his customary zeal, the usually dependable Mr. Cruise is off his game here, sabotaged by the misguided attempt to shade his character with gray. The domestication of Ethan Hunt may have seemed like a good idea, a humanizing touch, perhaps, but it only bogs down the action. Worse, it turns a perfectly good franchise into a seriously strange vanity project, as the simpering brunette is swept into a new world by a dashing operative for a clandestine organization. Much like the man playing him, Ethan works only if you don't know anything about what makes him tick. Once upon a Hollywood time, the studios carefully protected their stars from the press and the public. Now the impossible mission, it seems, is protecting them from themselves.
'Mission: Impossible III' is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). There is fairly bloodless violence.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout is a 2018 American actionspy film written, produced, and directed by Christopher McQuarrie. It is the sixth installment in the Mission: Impossible film series, and the second film to be directed by McQuarrie following the 2015 film Rogue Nation. The cast includes Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Sean Harris, Michelle Monaghan, and Alec Baldwin, all of whom reprise their roles from previous films, along with Henry Cavill, Vanessa Kirby, and Angela Bassett, who join the franchise. In the film, Ethan Hunt and his team must track down missing plutonium while being monitored by a CIA agent after a mission goes wrong.
Talks for a sixth Mission: Impossible film began prior to the release of Rogue Nation in 2015. The film was officially announced in November 2015, with McQuarrie confirming his return as writer and director, as well as producer alongside J. J. Abrams and Cruise, the seventh collaboration between the pair. Filming took place from April 2017 to March 2018, in Paris, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates.
Mission: Impossible – Fallout had its world premiere in Paris on July 12, 2018, and was released in the United States on July 27, 2018; it was the first in the series to be released in RealD 3D, and also had an IMAX release. It grossed $791 million worldwide, making it the eighth highest-grossing film of 2018, Cruise's highest-grossing film to date, and the highest-grossing film in the franchise, surpassing Ghost Protocol. It received critical praise for its direction, cinematography, action sequences, stunts, musical score and performances of the cast; many critics called it the best installment in the franchise, and some regard it as one of the greatest action films of all time.[4][5]
Two years after Solomon Lane's capture,[N 1] the remnants of his organization, the Syndicate, have reorganized as a terrorist group called the Apostles. IMF agent Ethan Hunt is assigned to buy three stolen plutonium cores in Berlin from Eastern European gangsters before the Apostles can. He is joined by Benji Dunn and Luther Stickell for the mission, but the team fails when Stickell is taken hostage and Hunt's attempt to save him allows the Apostles to make off with the plutonium. The team later captures nuclear weapons expert Nils Delbruuk, who designed nuclear bombs for the Apostles' client, an extremist named John Lark.
Furious at the IMF's failure to secure the plutonium, CIA Director Erica Sloane instructs Special Activities Division operative August Walker to shadow Hunt as he attempts to retrieve the plutonium. Hunt and Walker infiltrate a nightclub party in Paris where Lark is believed to be buying the cores from arms dealer Alanna Mitsopolis, also known as the White Widow, who acts as the middleman in the sale of the plutonium. They track a man whom they suspect to be Lark, but after fighting him in a restroom, he is killed by MI6 agent Ilsa Faust. Hunt sticks to his plan and assumes the role of Lark without a disguise and escapes from the hitmen sent to kill Lark and Mitsopolis.
To secure the plutonium, Mitsopolis tasks Hunt with extracting Lane from an armoured convoy moving through Paris. She provides one of the plutonium cores as a down payment. With Mitsopolis and her brother intending to use lethal force on local police, Hunt and Walker preemptively attack the convoy. Ramming Lane's vehicle into water, they lead the police and Mitsopolis' men on a chase across Paris while Dunn and Stickell, in a watercraft, secure Lane. Faust reappears and attempts to kill Lane to prove her loyalty to MI6, but the extraction is successful. Mitsopolis instructs the team to deliver Lane and Faust to London.
At a safe house in London, IMF Secretary Alan Hunley confronts Hunt, convinced he is the real John Lark, using evidence which has been doctored by Walker and passed to Sloane, but Hunt denies it. Eventually, Hunt, the team, and Hunley trick Walker into admitting he is the real Lark and informs Sloane, who sends in a CIA unit to detain everyone. However, the unit has been compromised by the Apostles, and Walker orders them to attack instead. Walker kills Hunley and escapes after Hunt chases him across the city. As he departs for Kashmir with Lane, Walker tells Hunt he knows the location of Hunt's estranged wife, Julia, and threatens her life should Hunt follow him.
The team deduces that Lane and Walker plan to detonate the remaining bombs at a medical camp over the Siachen Glacier, contaminating the water supply of India, Pakistan, and China; with a third of its population affected, the world will descend into an anarchy from which Lane and Walker hope a new world order will emerge. Upon arrival in Kashmir, Hunt discovers Julia and her new husband, Erik, are assigned to the medical camp, an arrangement made by Walker to increase the pressure on Hunt. Lane programs the bombs' detonator with a 15-minute countdown and gives Walker the detonator, choosing to remain behind with the two nuclear bombs; Walker then takes off, secretly pursued by Hunt while Dunn, Stickell, and Faust stay behind to find and defuse the nuclear weapons. Stickell works to deactivate the first bomb, and Julia volunteers her help, but they are unable to defuse it without the detonator. Dunn and Faust find the second bomb and subdue Lane. Following an aerial chase, Hunt uses a commandeered helicopter to ram Walker’s helicopter out of the sky, kills Walker by dropping the helicopter’s winch hook on him as they fight on a cliff, and secures the detonator, allowing Stickell, Faust, and Dunn to deactivate the bombs.
Cadbury shortbread cookies. In the aftermath, the remaining cores are safely recovered. Sloane hands Lane over to MI6 through Mitsopolis, with Faust earning her exoneration from the organization as a result. Hunt recovers from his injuries with Julia's help, who tells him that he has given her the best life, despite his commitment to the IMF. Faust and the team join Hunt in celebration.
Additionally, director Christopher McQuarrie provides his voice for Ethan's mission tape in Belfast. Many actors who played Syndicate operatives in Rogue Nation, including Jens Hultén, appear in photographs also seen on the mission tape. Stuntman Liang Yang portrays the decoy John Lark, a man who was presumed to possess the alias 'John Lark'. Kristoffer Joner portrays Nils Delbruuk, a rogue nuclear weapons specialist. Alix Bénézech portrays the French policewoman whom Ethan saves from Zola's men in Paris. Wolf Blitzer makes a cameo appearance as himself, a disguise worn by Dunn.
On May 23, 2015, The Tracking Board reported that Paramount Pictures was developing a sixth Mission: Impossible film, with Tom Cruise, J. J. Abrams, David Ellison, and Dana Goldberg returning to produce, along with Don Granger and Matt Grimm as executive producers, and Elizabeth Raposo overseeing development.[6] On July 28, 2015, Cruise confirmed on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart that a sixth film was already being developed, and told Jon Stewart that the filming would 'probably' commence in summer 2016.[7] On August 2, 2015, Paramount executive Rob Moore told Variety that the sequel was already in the works, stating that they were 'very happy to be developing this movie with Tom,' and 'there has to be another movie.'[8] On November 19, 2015, it was announced that Paramount had again hired Christopher McQuarrie to write the film, while it was possible that he would also direct again, and the studio was moving fast, with plans to begin shooting in August 2016.[9] On November 30, 2015, McQuarrie confirmed through his Twitter account that he would be back for directing duty as well, and also produce the film along with Cruise.[10][11] On December 8, 2015, Showbiz411 confirmed that the fifth film's female lead, Rebecca Ferguson, would return for the sequel.[12]
On August 19, 2016, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Paramount had halted pre-production on the film due to a dispute over salary between Cruise and the studio, as Cruise wanted to be paid equal to or more his fee for the Universal Pictures film The Mummy.[13] On September 16, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Cruise's dispute with the studio had been resolved, and production would now begin in spring 2017.[14] In November, Jeremy Renner—who portrayed William Brandt in the fourth and fifth films—stated that he was unsure if he would be part of the sixth film, due to scheduling conflicts with Marvel Studios' Avengers: Endgame (2019).[15] In March 2017, Renner confirmed at CinemaCon that he would not return for the sixth film.[16]

In February, McQuarrie revealed that the film would include more backstory to Ethan Hunt's personal life.[17] On June 13, 2017, Michelle Monaghan was announced to return as Ethan Hunt's wife Julia Meade-Hunt.[18]
Filming was slated to start in Paris on April 10, 2017.[19] Other locations include the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Norway.[20][21] Filming officially began on April 8.[22] Some of the filming also took place in New Zealand in July 2017.[23] The municipality of Forsand in Norway allowed the closing of Preikestolen for a time in autumn for the film's shoot; only crew members and cast were allowed to approach the mountain for nine consecutive days. They also were allowed up to 50 helicopter landings per day.[24] The scenes set in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir were shot in New Zealand. Director Christopher McQuarrie said that he wanted the climax of the film to be set in a more 'politically complex' location than New Zealand, so he chose to set this sequence in Kashmir.[25]
In August 2017, Cruise injured his right leg on the London set during filming.[26][27][28] Following the accident, the studio announced it would halt production for at least nine weeks in order for Cruise's broken ankle and other injuries to heal, but released a statement saying that they would be keeping the July 2018 release date for the film. The injury resulted in a cost of around $80 million for the studio, because they had to pay the cast and crew for the eight-week hiatus so they would not take another job. However, the injury and subsequent costs were offset by insurance, and did not count against the film's final budget.[29] Filming resumed in early October 2017, with Cruise spotted on the set seven weeks after his initial injury, and two weeks earlier than initially planned.[30]
Reshoots for Cavill's Justice League coincided with the schedule for Fallout, for which he had grown a mustache which he was contracted to keep while filming. While McQuarrie initially gave the producers of Justice League permission to have Cavill shave the mustache in exchange for the $3 million it would cost to shut down production on Fallout and then digitally fill the mustache in, executives from Paramount rejected the idea.[31]Justice League's VFX team was then forced to use special effects to digitally remove the mustache in post-production.[32]
On January 25, 2018, the title was revealed to be Mission: Impossible – Fallout.[33] Filming concluded in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on March 25, 2018.[34] Production in the UAE included filming of a High Altitude Low Opening (HALO) jump scene with Cruise. The scene required Cruise and the crew to train on a ground-based vertical wind tunnel, and then use a C-17 military aircraft to make over one hundred jumps from around 25,000 feet (7,600 m) to end up with three takes that McQuarrie wanted for the film. As the scene was to be set near sunset, they could only make one jump a day to try to get each shot.[35][36] One of the biggest challenges for the visual effects team was replacing the Abu Dhabi desert with Paris, which is where the jump takes place in the film. Artists re-created the Grand Palais des Champs-Élysées using reference imagery, Lidar scans, and photogrammetry from drone footage that was taken above the building.[37]
The visual effects were provided by DNEG and Blind LTD and supervised by Huw Evans, Andrew Booth and Jody Johnson with the help of One of Us and The Third Floor.[38]

The musical score for Mission: Impossible – Fallout was composed by Lorne Balfe. Balfe was confirmed by McQuarrie to be the composer for the film in April 2017, replacing the previous composer Joe Kraemer.[39]
The score has been praised by many critics, calling it an epic and inspiring score, with some powerful themes which are balanced with softer more sentimental themes;[40] some also considered it being too 'Nolan-esque', comparing it to scores by Hans Zimmer (particularly The Dark Knight Rises).[41] The score implements the use of percussion, snares, and bongos to create a jaunty staccato momentum.
The digital album was released through Paramount Music on July 14, 2018. The physical soundtrack was released later in the month by La-La Land Records.

In the United States and Canada, this film was released alongside Teen Titans Go! To the Movies, and was projected to gross $48–65 million in its opening weekend, with some estimates going as high as $75 million. It opened in 4,386 theaters, the most ever for the franchise and the seventh-widest release all time.[49][50] The film made $6 million from Thursday night previews (including $1 million from IMAX screenings), the highest of the series, a record for Cruise, and a 50% increase from Rogue Nation's $4 million.

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 97% based on 391 reviews and an average rating of 8.37/10. The website's critical consensus reads, 'Fast, sleek, and fun, Mission: Impossible – Fallout lives up to the 'impossible' part of its name by setting yet another high mark for insane set pieces in a franchise full of them.'[57] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 86 out of 100, based on 60 critics, indicating 'universal acclaim.'[58] Audiences polled by PostTrak gave the film an 84% overall positive score and a 65% 'definite recommend,' while CinemaScore reported filmgoers gave it an average grade of 'A' on an A+ to F scale, the highest-ever for the series.[46]
Variety's Peter Debruge called the film the series's most exciting installment to date, saying, 'McQuarrie clearly believes in creating coherent set pieces: His combat scenes are tense, muscular, and clean, shot and edited in such a way that the spatial geography makes sense.'[59] David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a grade of 'A' and called it one of the best action films ever, writing 'He's only Tom Cruise because nobody else is willing to be — or maybe he's only Tom Cruise so that nobody else has to be. Either way, Fallout is the film he's always promised us, and it is worth the wait.'[60]Entertainment Weekly's Chris Nashawaty also gave the film an 'A' grade, commenting on Cruise that 'He's still Hollywood's hungriest movie star', with the series getting 'better, twistier and more deliriously fun with each installment'.[61] George Simpson of The Express complimented 'the action is brutal and gut-punching, the pacing heart-pumping and the stakes so high it's gasp-inducing at times,' adding, 'Fallout is an improvement on all the previous films' failings, drawing together all the best aspects of them; simultaneously giving off that classic vibe of the original while never being afraid to continually evolve;' he gave the film five out of five stars.[62]The Telegraph's Tim Robey summed up the film as 'spectacular and eye-popping,' deeming it 'the blockbuster of the summer' with 'a pleasingly sinuous plot,' and calling the film and its series a 'Bond-like franchise'; he also rated the film five out of five stars.[63]
Robert Abele of TheWrap described Cruise as an 'evergreen movie star with the daredevil heart of a stuntman' and that he 'puts every ounce of effort he can into the long, hard work of maintaining a blockbuster franchise.'[64]The Hollywood Reporter's Todd McCarthy praised director Christopher McQuarrie, saying that with Mission: Impossible - Fallout he 'tops what he did with Cruise three years ago,' and also singled out Vanessa Kirby for playing her character with 'a mix of elegance and frisky abandon.'[65] J.R. Kinnard of PopMatters wrote, 'Though it lacks the gritty humanity of something like George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), Mission: Impossible – Fallout is no less impressive in its dedication to character-driven action and practical special effects. It's a dazzling, non-stop thriller that's sure to become an instant action classic.'[66]Screen Daily's Tim Grierson wrote 'Tom Cruise is on fighting form in this thrilling franchise topper.. [he is] ageless, riveting and seemingly unstoppable,' further adding that 'the sixth film in the series is among the most outstanding, delivering a near-exhausting amount of stupendous action sequences paired with deft character drama and the requisite life-or-death stakes.'[67] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film three out of five stars, saying 'there isn't as much [humor] in the dialogue as before,' but added, 'Crashes and petrolhead spills are what this franchise is reasonably expected to deliver. And this is what it cheerfully does.'[68]
Sight & Sound's Nick Pinkerton wrote 'A strong contender for the most consistently cinematic franchise of the last 25 years, the Mission: Impossible films also offer a case study in the idea of the actor as auteur, with Tom Cruise continuing to present himself as a fearless screen immortal in Fallout.'[69]
