Critics Consensus

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.

Chicago Reader

Ironically, the most entertaining element of all may be the star's advancing age; Cruise, well into his 50s, scores numerous laughs as the increasingly confused CIA agent, leaping into one spectacular stunt after another and then wishing he hadn't.

The thought crosses the mind: Where can it go from here? The answer is pretty much everywhere. It keeps on going and going, following one exciting sequence with another and then another.

I stayed to the final credit, in case there was a clever tag, but I didn't feel cheated when there wasn't one. I needed the time to catch my breath.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Impressiveness notwithstanding, it’s the intelligent cleverness of each entry as a spy flick that keeps audiences coming back for repeats.

Rated: 4/5

Everyone else may be in it for the spectacle (the stunts, the foreign locations, the outfits), but for me, even in an action movie, the story is everything, and I needed a break to get through this one.

By 2018, a franchise that began with Tom Cruise dangling from the ceiling of a Langley vault was dangling him off a 1,981-foot-high cliff, illustrating how Mission Impossible’s stunts have only gotten bigger, bolder and more bonkers.

exciting, captivating, suspenseful, and girl power! This film had high expectations, a huge budget, lots of hype, and it did not disappoint! Knowing that Tom does his own stunts makes it that much cooler to watch. I was on the edge of my seat for two and a half hours! The plot twists and complicated storylines were captivating, although I think Henry Cavill's character development could have used some more work. The music and sound effects were classic, appropriate and added to the scene without being overwhelmingly loud or distracting - no small feat! Also, I love the strong, powerful, badass women in this movie!

Easily the best mission impossible movie. A series of tight set pieces with everything you want, including guns, car chases, motor cycles, and boats. There is one great moment after another and concludes the storyline with the most interesting bad guy in the series. A must see!
