Mission impossible: the last settlement is 3 hours of nonsense that makes you want the world to end! Brian Viner’s sizzling review of Tom Cruise tries to save the planet in his underpants

Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning (2HR 49 minutes)
Those who attend the world premiere of the latest mission from last night: Impossible film in Cannes should have been greeted with a warning. This film takes almost three hours to destroy yourself.
The starting point can be summarized in less than five seconds. Ethan Hunt of the Impossible Missions Force, played by Cruise for the eighth time, saves the world. Again.
Only this time does he do it partly in his underpants.
This summer, cruise will be 63, which is no age for a fight to death in someone’s briefs, but then he adheres to different rules of the rest of us.
This time he grew his hair, as if he wants to show the surprising absence of gray. A better title was perhaps Mission Impossible: The Grecian 2000 Protocol.
The film starts with the American president (Angela Bassett) who praises hunting for heaven, the same sky that he will later worship in another deadly fight, on the wings of a upside down two-nasty, somewhere above South Africa.

Famous Cruise would already do his own stunts. If that is the case, a large part of the estimated £ 300 million costs of the film – one of the three or four most expensive of all time – must have been on insurance premiums.
Regarding the actual plot, it almost picks up where the latter had gone. In 2023’s Dead Reckoning: Part One was a rogue plate of artificial intelligence that is known as ‘The Entity’ bent on conquering all cyberspace.
It is now brainwashing to take his side, so you never know who unexpectedly tries to cut your wind pipe.
In honesty for director Christopher McQuarrie and his co-writer Erik Jendreson, this dystopian scenario has collected some credibility since 2023, which with the arrival of powerful Real-World Ais such as Chatgpt.
The entity now infiltrates the world’s nuclear command centers, so that Mrs. the president brings the red button within a well -groomed fingernail.
Only Hunt has the key to stop this, but the work of an IMF agent is of course never done.
He must also find the original ‘source code’ of the entity – and the cowardly murderer Gabriel (Esai Morales) thwart his forces for himself.
In this noble endeavor, Hunt is assisted by old Chums Benji (Simon Pegg) and Luther (Ving Rhames), as well as Grace, the reformed pickpocker of the last time, nicely played by Hayley Atwell.

Yet he is the one who takes the real risks, including a dive of the Northern Ice Sea that is so dangerous that he is told that his body could spasms and he will be serious mental confusion, as I after 170 minutes of this nonsense.
In earlier mission: impossible trips, I should add, the capers were fun and the stunts were spectacular.
There is a part of that, and suggestive flashbacks to glory from the past, but the film drags terribly into parts and can lose half an hour by cutting most lines, in about 100 different ways, that the planet is on the edge of a puncture.
By the end you might want it to just fall.
Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning will open in the United Kingdom next Wednesday
