Fin from the first frame Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning throw it into philosophy: “We live and die in the shadows,” says the voice off the pitch. And it’s not any voice: Tom Cruise speaks. Then, even before the titles of the head, a “Recap” frantic of the saga that has the advantage of bringing back to the memory of the loyalists, even if only for a few seconds, the face of Vanessa Redgrave (1996, the first chapter, directed Brian De Palma) And the youth features of Tom Cruise, before he came to his almond eyes.
The voice of the President of the United States (Angela Bassett) It arrives via VHS, the message is clear: to deal with good and badly today means deciding to be on the side of the analogue against digital.
In Cannes 2025, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoningthe review of the film with Tom Cruise
The world must be saved. And even if there is always to be seen with very perfidious humans (Morales-Gabriel is guided them), the war-as already in half a dozen movies (Rumors by Guy Maddin was last year in Cannes, but there were less barrels) – this time it is against artificial intelligence. Indeed, the entity, also called the anti-god (what mania, the capital!), In short, The devourers of truth (How to give a legendary aura also to the last of the Trolls).

This is why Tom Cruise, the agent Ethan Hunt, equipped with a cruciform key (with a little papal appearance, in fact) must recover from a Russian submarine sunk long time before what is needed for Stop the end of the world weapon, as Stanley Kubrick called it. Except that Dr. Strangelove is not a cowboy to ride of a head of many megatons. This time it is the algorithm.
The plot of the last mission: Impossible. Tom Cruise towards the Armageddon
Under its influence, several nuclear powers have already ended: India, Pakistan, Israel. It is practically news of the present day. But do not delude yourself on geopolitics: the skills of the film stop therethe bipolar world to which Mission: Impossible It refers, we know, it was filed before they finished mounting the film.
In Ethan the task of defusing the racing to Armageddon who, explains Bassett (there had been Kamala to the White House would have been more credible), will consist first of all in the collapse of economies from all over the world. Something that Donald Trump alone is managing to do without shooting a blow.

On a mission also in Cannes 2025
Since Tom Cruise takes every task, including his presence in Cannes, like a hypercinetic missionhe did not miss the opportunity to appear even during that hour that the director Christopher Mcquarrie, Mc q for friends, thought it would have been his own. (Thierry Frémaux commissioned him to keep a masterclass, where the director who comes from writing – had scripted among others The usual suspicions – He was compared to Howard Hawks and Alfred Hitchcock. In short….).
Nothing to do, there too there was the arrival on the stage on the stage of the Debussy room of Tom Cruise. The French press compared it to a ferret engaged in a commando operation.
Tom Cruise “competing only with himself”
“I will reveal a secret to you,” Mcq confessed to the public. “Tom Cruise is competing only with himself.” In reality, if there is a war that the actor has declared is that, generally all female (but perhaps things are changing), against time.
As MCQ confirms, Cruise ato that club of humans who never give up, that do not allow even the details to be contracted to the stuntios. “For the record, every time you see a foot or a hand in the frame … they are those of Tom!”.
The risk, knows it well, is to live and die in the shadows. To him, after 8 impossible missions, and a last chapter – record will ($ 400 million the budget), is no longer granted.
