Somehow manages to bring a bold fresh take to the action genre. It is mind boggling to think that this is Dev Patel’s first time behind the camera. The action is top notch, but most importantly it serves the story that’s trying to be told super well. Sure, there are some things that don’t fully work here, but the sky is the limit for Patel. I cannot wait to see what else he does behind the camera.

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning 2023
In 10 years the mission impossible films will likely be studied as a blueprint for how to make a blockbuster hit.

I almost think I did myself a disservice by watching this before the live action Mortal Kombat in a few weeks. This one set the bar really high

We never really see who he truly is until we are shown him alone in a dark room with a beautifully worded journal entry. Some of the choices in the film will inevitably not worn for everyone but to me…
