Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One - MOVIE REVIEW

Hey everyone, at LONG last, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One - the 7th installment of the M:I franchise - has finally hit theaters. This has been on my most anticipated list for three years now (I believe). I have been waiting for almost five years to witness my first Mission film on the big screen, particularly since Fallout is one of my favorite action films of all time and one of my favorite films... period. I love what Tom Cruise and McQ have been doing together since M:I - Rogue Nation so this film has A LOT to live up to. So, does Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One live up to its predecessors (arguably the most consistent action franchise of all-time!) or is it the franchise's first miss in decades? Find out in this NON-SPOILER review. ENJOY!
