This 3 hour long movie is a messy drama fest. Sure, it’s got action, but the script is all over the place and there’s way too much noisy dialogue between serious action scenes. Tom is also getting on a bit, as are most of the other core cast members – a stark difference from the original Mission Impossible movie.
I rate this movie So-So due to straying so far off-genre, lacking cohesive script and lacking as much cool action we’d expect from an MI movie. Indeed, this could easily be a made-for-Netflix action-drama mini-series, with how the density of quality is so weak. It stinks of cost-saving shortcuts and fluffy padding throughout. You may be tempted to give up watching at any point in this 3 hour movie, and I wouldn’t blame you.
