follows this tradition, with Cruise riding a motorbike off the side of a cliff for the film’s big marketing moment. It’s as incredible as it seems on the poster; there’s just not much in other action films that captures the immediacy and organic thrill of watching this 60-year-old man throw any good sense of caution to the wind in the name of an authentic experience at the movies.
In fact, director Christopher McQuarrie does a lot to specifically hark back to the methodical, juicy pulp of De Palma’s version, both in craft and in story . Cinematographer Fraser Taggart gives the camera the most involvement it’s seen since that entry, not only in the action but more so in the dialogue.
The script isn’t the sharpest these movies have seen, adhering to a long history of movies with evil AI antagonists, and it is prone to getting the complex loyalties and backstabbings of a large cast of characters just a little muddled. But it soars when it comes to broad spectacle and individual sequences, and it feels pointed that Cruise of all people is fighting an omnipresent, inescapable algorithm.
That cast he’s surrounded by helps to sustain the momentum in moments where it seems like the bottom could fall out. As usual, you come for the action, but you stay for the committed and rich performances. Cruise is the ultimate leading action star, and your regular returning players like Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, and Rebecca Ferguson all help to imbue the globe-trotting antics with a serious amount of impassioned credibility.
