Dead Reckoning might be just what we need right now: a session of cinematic self-care, wherein the chases and jaw-dropping derring-do are pure escapism .Tom Cruise as Ethan Hunt brings a subdued sense of world-weariness to the coolest agent of the Impossible Mission Force. In Dead Reckoning, Ethan is doing battle with an invisible artificial intelligence program called the Entity that is on the verge of going sentient and ending the world as we know it. As always, Cruise surrounds himself with a superbly accomplished supporting cast —Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Ving Rhames and Simon Pegg. Hayley Atwell delivers a game, bracingly alert portrayal of a silkily gifted pickpocket who becomes Ethan’s accomplice. The good news isn’t just that Dead Reckoning lives up to its star’s notoriously high standards; it’s that it isn’t even over yet.—The Washington Post
