For the past 30 years, Ethan Hunt has had a choice. To stop the Entity, Hunt (Cruise), Benji (Simon Pegg), Luther (Ving Rhames), Grace (Hayley Atwell) and Paris (Pom Klementieff) globetrot with a special crucifix-shaped key in search of the Entity’s source. I guess Hunt trying to save the world from a biblical apocalypse seems like a logical conclusion after he’s saved it from politicians, rogue states and opportunists. But trying to retcon this movie to the others does Reckoning no favors. Then that plane does a 360-degree barrel roll with Cruise hanging on for dear life, and my quibbles fly out the window.
