While not as good as I was hoping, Dead Reckoning Part One is still a fun and exciting film that sets up a sequel that could be the best!
The story line was solid. While it took a little time to get going, it really picked up in the 2nd and 3rd act. I was sad that they killed off a favorite character of mine, but I had a gut feeling that it was coming! Loved all of the twists the film had as well!
The acting was great as well! Tom Cruise once again did a great as Ethan Hunt. Hayley Atwell did a great job as well! Esal Morales was a very ruthless villain that you hated with a passion. Vanessa Kirby was a scene stealer as the White Widow once again! It was weird not seeing Luthor is a big role again, but it didn't affect my opinion of the movie.
The action scenes were amazing! The car chase in Rome had me on the edge of my seat, and laughing so hard to at the same time! The train sequence was very intense as well, loved the fact that it was one disaster after another on that train LOL.
It is going to be very interesting to see how all of this plays out in the sequel! I am starting to believe the theory that the next film will end with Ethan becoming the director of the I. M. F. That would be a perfect end to his story line IMO.
Out of 4 stars I would give it...
3.5 out of 4 stars
