Tom Cruise Does It Again: ‘Mission: Impossible 7’ Opens To Virtually Perfect Reviews

On Wednesday, July 5 — one week before the official release of the film — reviews for the latest entry in the iconic Mission: Impossible franchise, Dead Reckoning Part One were published across the internet.

And according to the first wave of critics who have seen the film, 61-year-old Tom Cruise has done it again as Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One has debuted to a perfect 100% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes after more than 50 reviews.

Needless to say, just a year after virtually saving the movie industry with the release of Top Gun: Maverick, movie fans are loving the fact that the latest Mission: Impossible film is promising to be another incredible action epic.

Director Christopher McQuarrie — who helmed Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation and Mission: Impossible – Fall and also seems to be Cruise’s go-to creative collaborator these days — received his fair share of recognition for the accomplishment, too.

One of the reasons that the Mission: Impossible franchise seems to be getting better with each passing family is that Cruise obviously knows a movie star when he sees one, as evidenced by the additions of Rebecca Ferguson in 2015 Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, Vanessa Kirby in 2018’s Mission: Impossible – Fallout, and Hayley Atwell — who has been dropping jaws all over the globe with her press tour outfits — in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.

In addition to the aforementioned Cruise and Atwell, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One — hitting theaters on Wednesday, July 12 — stars Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Ving Rhames, Pom Klementieff, Esai Morales, Shea Whigam, and more. The film will then be followed up by Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part Two, which is scheduled to release in movie theaters on July 24, 2024.
