New Release Review - "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com

Anyone who has binged classic TV shows from the 1960s to the '80s will be familiar with the concept of recapping the first part of a two-parter at the beginning of part two. Such recaps often ran for as long as 10 minutes, eating into the running time and thus keeping the budget down. Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning has no such budgetary concerns, and yet it spends an inordinate amount of time recapping not only its immediate predecessor, Dead Reckoning: Part One, but previous entries, as far back as the first movie from 1996. There are so many "Previously on Mission: Impossible" flashbacks that at times it resembles one of those dreaded "clips" episodes we used to get in TV shows, where a main character would fall into a coma and think about all the fun adventures they had over the course of the show's run.
