When Ethan Hunt, the leader of a crack espionage team whose perilous operation has gone awry with no explanation, discovers that a mole has penetrated the CIA, he's surprised to learn that he's the prime suspect. To clear his name, Hunt now must ferret out the real double agent and, in the process, even the score.

9.4/10 this was so incredible. Finally getting ti watch all the Mission Impossible movies. Without that third act which I was pretty disappointed with other than the reveal of the mole this would be a 10/10. I mean this was honestly one of the most suspenseful movies I have ever watched. The scene where Ethan is going for the laptop when the dude is right outside the door about to go in and see him was one of if not the best scenes ever. I genuinely damn near stood up on my couch watching that because so much could’ve went wrong and it was so fun to watch. Also unexpectedly the acting here was phenomenal which I didn’t expect from this. The opening sequences here were also so amazing to watch and they honestly confused me because I thought that whole squad would be the main crew this whole movie. Literally my only critique was the third act because everything other than that was honestly top notch. Sucks i’m so late to this series. This is a movie you can’t miss in your lifetime 110%.
