Mission: Impossible 8 was originally intended as Dead Reckoning Part Two, following 2023’s Dead Reckoning Part One. That received an 8/10 according to IGN’s review. We said: “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning sees Tom Cruise’s anti-algorithm crusade hilariously taken literally, in a fun, intense and self-reflexive action saga that works in spite of itself.”
