From the absurd (but impressive) biplane stunt work to the film’s tonal shifts and overstuffed runtime, it’s all on the table. We’re talking themes (sort of), returning characters, Cruise mythology, and what happens when a popcorn movie takes itself just a little too seriously.Is it fun? Yes. Is it long? Also yes.
