Rave Reviews for 'Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One' with Tom Cruise

The critic reviews are coming in and they are raving about the latest installment of, "Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One." There is a Part Two in this 7th movie starring Tom Cruise. 

What I'm reading and watching in these reviews is nostalgia. This recent film hearkens back to the very first "Mission Impossible" 1996. It was directed by Brian De Palma and this new version copies his touches visually. The trailer also shows the return of the character "Kittridge" who was in that first movie. 

I will tell you all right now... The first "Mission Impossible" is my favorite in this series. So, I'm excited to walk into a movie theater next Wednesday on July 12, 2023. - Wahoo.!!

"But on Nov. 22, 1993, she was found dead of a gunshot wound in the basement of her own home. The investigation of her bizarre death includes an interview with Jane's husband, Jim, who changed his story about Jane's murder."
