I’ve never been overly impressed by Tom Cruise. It's true he performs his own stunts and remains incredibly fit, but as far as acting goes – there aren't many moments where he really seems to invest himself emotionally. Fortunately, that isn't a major issue here, because the majority of the film is an enjoyable, fast-moving addition to the Mission: Impossible series, featuring an adversary who brought to mind “The Forbin Project” (1970). The military has developed what they believe to be flawless artificial intelligence housed within the sonar dome of a modern Russian submarine. However, this dome proves not as secure as believed, and when a deliberately engineered disaster strikes the sub, it quickly becomes apparent that this device possesses, and is rapidly developing, its own consciousness. Preventing it requires finding the two connected pieces of a cruciform key – and then locating the sunken wreckage where they are hidden, if there’s any chance of stopping it from dominating the world. The plot felt more like something out of “007,” but I found it to be a good, reliable, and well-constructed story—one that feels particularly relevant in our current era of pervasive technology and communication. Alongside Ving Rhames and the (admittedly irritating) Simon Pegg, "Ethan" (Cruise) must team up with his dangerous associate “Ilsa” (Rebecca Ferguson) and the skilled “Grace” (Hayley Atwell) to ensure the key doesn't get into the hands of the mysterious "Gabriel" (Esai Morales). The film is packed with non-stop action sequences—trains, planes, cars, parachutes—and like in “Fast X” (2023), Rome suffers considerable damage. Venice and the Orient Express would now present even "Hercule Poirot" with an impossible mystery to solve. It's diverting and functions well as a showcase for the lead actor, establishing elements that will need resolution in the final installment, which inevitably means the story here has to be somewhat rushed and a little predictable. I was pleasantly surprised by it and feel it’s worth seeing on a large screen.
