Il Brutto Il Cattivo - Il meglio e il peggio di cinema e serie tv
Nel 1996 Mission: Impossible arrivava al cinema e trasformava una vecchia serie televisiva in una delle saghe action più longeve, folli e resistenti della storia di Hollywood. Trent'anni dopo, Il Brutto Il Cattivo torna al primo film della saga: quello diretto da Brian De Palma, con Tom Cruise ancora lontano dall'icona acrobatica definitiva ma già pronto a prendersi il cinema d'azione sulle spalle, possibilmente appeso a un filo in una stanza piena di sensori.Una puntata dedicata al fascino paranoico del primo Mission: Impossible, tra spionaggio, doppi giochi, maschere, floppy disk, telefoni enormi, tradimenti assortiti e quella sequenza alla CIA diventata patrimonio emotivo dell'umanità cinefila. Parliamo di come De Palma abbia trasformato il blockbuster in un gioco di specchi, di quanto Ethan Hunt fosse diverso dal supereroe stuntman dei capitoli successivi e di come questo film abbia costruito, quasi senza volerlo, il mito moderno di Tom Cruise.Tra nostalgia anni Novanta, rilettura critica e inevitabili domande fondamentali – tipo: ma qualcuno ha mai capito davvero tutta la trama al primo giro? – celebriamo i 30 anni di Mission: Impossible, il film che ha acceso la miccia di una saga ancora oggi capace di correre, saltare, esplodere e rifiutarsi ostinatamente di invecchiare.
when your trying to survive a high-speed chase but your knee is soooo itchy. Has superspy ETHAN HUNT finally met his MATCH in nasally toned apostate SOLOMON LANE???No.
woah fellas, let's not bother hayley atwell, she's blameless here The best thing about the seventh installment of the Mission: Impossible is its strange status as ‘Part One' of a one-part story. The eighth movie, when it eventually arrived, had grown a protective shell around itself during the many delays in its production, leaving part one wriggling and vulnerable, a larva of pure setup crawling blindly in circles in search of payoff.In Dead Reckoning Part One Of One, Ethan Hunt finally encounters an enemy that poses a challenge to his bottomless well of will and resourcefulness: a superbeing called The Entity. It's an AI that wants… wait, what does it want? Why is it doing all the weird stuff that it's doing? Why is anything at all happening as it does? I guess we'll find out in Part Two! Womp-womp.

ethan hunt struggling with ethan hunt for ethan hunt supremacy. More like GOAT Protocol, amirite? The last MI installment before the McQuarrie half of the franchise, Ghost Protocol is a banger of a blockbuster. A blocker of a bustbanger? A buster of a bangblocker? Whatever, it's great.Let me outline the greatness for you: Tom Cruise has let his hair grow out again. This is always a win. The action sequences and stunt setpieces are clean and delightful. The story only appears to revolve around world-ending stakes, but in truth, Ghost Protocol is driven by a competition between Ethan Hunt and Ethan Hunt. Can he outrun and outperform the tiny superego figure that commands him to climb towers and chase villains? Yes. Yes he can.Enough talking up this movie. Go watch it. Or listen to Adam and Aidan dissect it for a bit. Find us on your podclimber of choice or do that thing where you listen below.

Or is it the most divisive entry in the franchise? Tune in as Alex and Nate break down the action, the tone shift from the first film, and whether this sequel still delivers explosive thrills.
Seedance 2.0 is the best AI video model we've ever seen. Bytedance's new AI tool generates 15 second clips of basically anything. But what happens next? And where do we go from here? Gavin got early access before it got locked down. We tested it with original animation, fake sitcoms, anime, and a McDonald's ad. The results are genuinely shocking - multi-shot editing, cinematic camera work, and real celebrity voices coming straight out of the model. People are making fake Seinfeld episodes, Avengers deleted scenes, and Rocky working at a fast food restaurant with Optimus Prime. Plus two new Chinese LLMs beating American models on benchmarks, Google Deep Think scores 84% on ARC-AGI, OpenAI's Codex Spark model, that viral AI post your mom sent you, and Kevin loses his mind building an Open Claw agent named Mr. Tibs who now requests server upgrades at 3am.

Framed for a massacre in Prague, Ethan Hunt goes rogue to hunt down a mole and recover the stolen NOC list. From the silent, sweat-inducing vaults of Langley to a high-speed helicopter chase through the Channel Tunnel, Hunt must outmaneuver his own agency to clear his name. It's a high-stakes race to stop a master traitor from exposing every undercover agent on Earth.
Tom Cruise runs. Tom Cruise rips faces off. Tom Cruise would like you to know he is a normal human man with a perfectly centered tooth and no further questions at this time. This week we accept our mission and immediately compromise it by talking too much. Let's take a fresh look at Brian De Palma's aggressively stylized spy reboot - Mission Impossible, a movie that invents modern blockbuster espionage while also insisting that every elevator in Eastern Europe is one bad day away from becoming a murder device. Anthony zeroes in on the franchise DNA, questioning whether Ethan Hunt has ever actually fired a gun, or if this is just Fast & Furious for people who can breathe through their noses. Elise remains deeply unconvinced by nearly everything on screen, especially the soft-focus glow applied exclusively to women, the sheer confidence of the plot, and the continued, unforgivable lack of Kurt Russell. And in case you had ANY doubts about what anyone means by 0400, Dan is back and has the answer. From the cursed NOC list to face-rip-ception and a theme song in 5/4 because aliens apparently deserve something to dance to, this is a movie that commits hard. Don't get any on you, trust no elevator, and remember: if someone says “abort,” they absolutely do not mean it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117060/

"This is not Mission: Difficult, Mr. Hunt, it's Mission: Impossible." Tom Cruise returned as super spy Ethan Hunt in the top worldwide grossing film of 2000, and Sarah & Joe are taking it to task! Listen as they breakdown the stark differences between the first two films in the long running series, the carousel of directors that were employed under the M:I banner, how the Lord of the Rings and X-Men franchises were affected by this movie's extensive reshoots and Eyes Wide Shut's epic shooting schedule, and dig deep into the person most victimized by M:I 2 - Dougray Scott.
Tom Cruise n'est pas le lieutenant Maverick de Top Gun ou l'agent Ethan Hunt de Mission Impossible. Il n'est pas ce héros américain sur lequel le temps n'aurait aucune prise.

The Enemy of The Entity Is My Friend Brock, Arnie, and Stuart are at last ready to have The Final Reckoning with the eighth Mission: Impossible film, as well as its daredevil star, Tom Cruise. Does the world still need Ethan Hunt to dangle from dogfighting airplanes, dive solo into deep-sea submarine wrecks, or impersonate others in lookalike masks?

Alex and James briefly turn their attention away from James Bond to discuss the adventures of Ethan Hunt. We take a look at the Mission: Impossible series, how it evolved over the course of eight films, as well as its strengths and weaknesses. Plus, keeping things on topic, we attempt to answer whether Tom Cruise's stunt-filled outings serve as a suitable alternative to Bond for classic fans who weren't won over by Daniel Craig's grittier, more grounded films. We'd love to hear your thoughts on Mission: Impossible vs James Bond, so please email us via bondandbeyondpod@gmail.com. You can find us on Facebook (just search 'Bond & Beyond'), Twitter (@bondbeyondpod) and all our episodes are at bondbeyondpod.tumblr.com.

We're diving deep just like Ethan Hunt as we talk about the 2025 sequel Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. It's a race to see if we can keep this episode under the running time of this movie as we talk about the cold open, which we can't even finish before taking a break, a chat about the underwater submarine sequence which is one of our favorite sequences in the entire series and the highs and lows of cross cutting between the thrilling biplane stunt and whatever else is going on to wrap up this possibly and hopefully final film in the series.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHWe meet this neat two-piece key being put together to make one key. We're on a Russian submarine and they have this AI system called The Entity that'll help them evade their enemy. But while testing one day, the AI becomes sentient and makes them think someone is attacking them. Turns out, no one is and they end up getting struck by their own torpedo. The key is now split up and floated up to the surface. We then catch up with Ethan Hunt who is given his new mission: get both pieces of the key, one of which has already been obtained by Ilsa. So he has to get the one half from Ilsa, and then track down the other one. So he heads to a desert and tracks her down. He gets the key and tells her that she's dead. Ethan then sneaks into a meeting to hear Kittridge, who is randomly back, explain that the Entity can manipulate cyberspace to control global defense intelligence and financial networks. He tells them that Ethan Hunt was on the case but we don't know where he is. Well, we do. He's in the room in a mask. He tells Kittridge that he refuses to give the half key to Kittridge but tells him he's going to find the other half and destory the Entity. Ethan meets up with Benji and Luther and the travel to Abu Dhabi to intercept the buyer of the other half of the key. Ethan's plan was to sell their half of the key to the buyer, and then follow the buyer to figure out what it unlocks. Ethan locates the buyer but the key is stolen by a professional thief named Grace. Ethan confronts Grace and offers to put the key back in the buyer's pocket in exchange for a generous payment of $4 million. But by the time they get back to the buyer, he's dead and then we find out that the key they have is actually a counterfeit. While Ethan was distracted but Luther and Benji disarming a weapon, Grace steals the real key from Ethan. Ethan suspects foul play after seeing Gabriel, a powerful terrorist who appears to be working with the Entity. He and Ethan had an encounter with each other prior to Ethan becoming an IMF agent. So, he aborts the mission and the team scatters. Grace escapes to Rome but is apprehended. Ethan helps her escape but now they're both being chased - there's an Entity operative named Paris and then there's a US agent Jasper Briggs. Paris and Briggs get into a shootout which gives Ethan and Grace enough time to escape. Ethan meets back up with Luther and Benji and Ilsa joins them. Ethan and Ilsa follow Grace to Venice where they go to a party held by the the White Widow. Luther had figured out by analyzing the video feed from the airport that Gabriel is working for the Entity. Ilsa says that Gabriel is the Entity's messenger and that the key leads to the Entity's source code. So the party is poppin. White Widow, Gabriel, Paris, Ethan, Grace, Ilsa... they gather at the party. Ethan realizes that the party was organized by the Entity as well. Ethan knows that White Widow is trying to get the key but doesn't want to keep the key for herself since she does not know what it unlocks. She cannot decide whether to give the key to her friend Ethan, or to Gabriel. Tapped into the Entity, Gabriel proclaims he will possess the completed key the next day and that either Ilsa or Grace will die. While Ethan is attempting to convince the White Widow to not give the key to Gabriel, Gabriel escapes. The Entity leads Grace and Isla to Gabriel. Gabriel knocks out Grace and kills Ilsa, devastating Ethan. Grace agrees to impersonate the White Widow and take the key during the sale on the train the next day. Ethan needs to figure out how he's going to get on that train to keep Grace safe. The next day, on the train, Gabriel kills the engine crew and destroys the throttle and brake. Grace finds the White Widow, knocks her out, and then goes to meet with Kittridge who is the buyer. Paris & Gabriel meets Director of National Intelligence Denlinger, who divulges all the information he has about the entity and how it went rogue. He explains that inside the submarine is a chamber that only the the completed key can unlock with the original Entity source code which would allow the holder to destroy or control The Entity. Now that he has all the information, Gabriel kills him. Kittridge agrees to the White Widow Grace's deal of $100 million and protection. But she ends up pickpocketing the key completed key from Kittridge. So how is Ethan going to get on the train and save the day? Well, Benji navigates him to the top of this mountain where he ride his motocycle off of it and parachutes onto the train. Grace takes off the mask and tries to escape but it's too late. She's about to be shot but Ethan comes crashing through the side of the train and saves her. But the key goes on the floor and is picked up by Gabriel. He goes to the top of the train and Ethan follows him. They begin to fight but Gabriel escapes and sets off an explosion to the bridge that's coming up. But Ethan manages to steal the key back from him without him noticing. Grace and Ethan detach the locomotive from the rest of the train which saves the passengers. But they aren't safe yet. They have to fight their way to the back of the train as more and more of the train continues to fall off the cliff. Right as they're about to fall, Paris shows up and pulls them to safety. She tells Ethan where to take the key and then passes out from a stab wound. Ethan has to leave and can't take Grace with him. Grace agrees to work with Kittridge and Ethan lands and is joined by Benji now that their next mission is to successfully destroy the Entity.
Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with Ethan having a dream where he's getting married to Julia but Lane is the officiant and then there's an explosion. He wakes up to a knock at the door. He is given a package with his new mission. Apparently, the remains of "The Syndicate" have reformed into a terrorist group known as "The Apostles". They are responsible for a smallpox outbreak. It's serious stuff. Ethan is told to intercept three stolen plutonium cores before the Apostles can sell them to a baddie named John Lark. It appears John Lark and the Apostles are working together to acquire what they need for nuclear weapons. So Ethan meets up with Benji and Luther for the mission. He arranges to buy the plutonium from some baddies. But they fail when the Apostles hijack the exchange and Ethan chooses to save Luther's life and the plutonium is taken by the Apostles. The team capture nuclear weapons expert Nils. They keep Nils in a simulated hospital and run news reels on TV indicating that 3 nuclear attacks have already taken place. Nils agrees to give the pass-code to his phone, if the news reads his manifesto on TV. Turns out, all fake but it's too late, they already have what they need. We meet the new CIA Director Erica Sloane, she instructs operative August Walker to shadow Ethan as he attempts to retrieve the plutonium because she doesn't trust the IMF to do the job. They believe Lark is going to be at this party in Paris. So Ethan and Walker have to parachute in, which is harder than it sounds. Walker almost dies but not on Ethan Hunt's watch! They track a man whom they suspect to be Lark. They end up getting in a big fight but dude ends up getting shot by...Ilsa! Ilsa is back baby! She does not tell Ethan who sent her. This is bad news because this dude is supposed to meeting with an arms dealer named the White Widow. Hunt can't finish the mask of Lark's face as Isla shot at the head, so Ethan decides to be Lark without a disguise. Ethan impersonates Lark and meets the White Widow. He warns her that agents of the Apostles have been sent to kill her and he's able to help her escape when they show up, with a little help from Ilsa. White Widow tells Ethan that if he wants the plutoneum, he has to help Lane escape during his transfer in an armored convoy. They say they have to kill everyone. Ethan is like I'm John Lark, I'll kill anyone anytime. Walker hears this and tells Director Sloane that he thinks it's possible Hunt really is Lark. Ethan and Walker attack Lane's convoy but they do it in a way that avoids having to kill the police. Ethen pushes Lane's escort van into the river. He then leads the police and the White Widow's men on a chase across Paris while Benji and Luther secure Lane. He is able to jump down into a boat where Luther and Benji have Lane. Ilsa reappears to kill Lane to show MI6 that she's loyal but the car is bullet proof. He takes Lane to White Window. But then White Widow tells him that she wants him to bring the women who killed 4 of her men, obviously talking about Ilsa. Hunt meets Ilsa and realizes that she was in Paris to protect Lark, and in the washroom, she killed whom she thought was Lark, to protect Hunt. Ilsa wanted Lark to break Lane out, as she wanted to kill Lane. Hunt realizes that Ilsa is working for the MI6, and they want her to prove her loyalty. Hunley shows up and confronts Ethan about being John Lark. Ethan denies it and injects him with something to knock him out to continue the mission. He suspects that Walker is the real John Lark so they hatch a plan for him to go in and confront Lane knowing that he would admit to it. Obviously, it's not really Lane, it's Benji in a mask. I guess Hunley has come to and this is enough for him. He phones Director Sloan who instructs a CIA unit to detain everyone because she doesn't trust any of them. The CIA unit has been compromised by Walker and he orders them to attack Hunley and his IMF men instead. Walker kills Hunley and escapes. So Ethan chases him across the city. He's jumping from building to building, doing his Tom Cruise run. He finally catches up with him and Walker tells him he has to turn himself into Lane or he's going to kill Julia, and shows a picture of him knowing where she is. Ethan gets back with Benji, Luther, and Ilsa and Ethan explains that he believes they're going to go ahead and detonate the nuclear weapons over some water that'll infect a ton of people. Luckily, they know where Lane is because they put a tracker in him. When they show up at this medical camp, he sees Julia. Apparently, Walker arranged her for and her husband, Doctor Eric, to be there. Lane activates the weapons and gives the detonator to Walker, which they need to get in order to diffuse the bombs. Walker goes up in a helicopter which naturally Ethan jumps onto and climbs his way up while it's in the air. Ethan is able to take control of the helicopter that's trailing Walker. Luther, Benji, and Ilsa are looking for the bombs and Julia finds Luther and wants to help. Ilsa ends up being held captive by Lane in the room with the 2nd explosive. Benji shows up and tries to help and they all get in a big fight. She's about to kill Lane but notices that Benji is about to die himself, so she saves him and they tie Lane up. While all that's happening, the helicopter chase doesn't end great. They crash and end up on the edge of a cliff. Ethan and Walker fight over to the detonator. They both fall off the cliff but they grab onto a rope. Ethan puts his rock climbing skills back to work as the helicopter comes down and kills Walker. Ethan rushes to climb up to the top just in time to press the button as the other cut the wires. Perfect timing. Ethan is rescued and brought back to Julia and her husband where they help him come to. He apologizes to Julia for everything. Sloane shows up and explains to Ethan that they've handed Lane over to MI6 through the White Widow, which earns Ilsa's freedom.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with an IMF agent running on a roof, shooting back at people. He jumps off and lands on a inflatable and somehow doesn't stick around to jump on it. He spots his target but it's too late - she shoots him first. Tough break. Cut to Ethan Hunt. He's in a Moscow prison. Suddenly, Dean Martin begins to play over the loud speaker and his cell is unlocked. It's all Benji. He's outside in a truck watching on the camera. For some reason, Ethan doesn't go through the next open door. Instead, he goes to free someone and take him with him and Benji and very confused. But it works. They get to the room, the floor explodes and they escape. Ethan knew that dude was his informer would be tortured and killed, so he rescued him and granted him his freedom. Jane is new and she tells Ethan that guy at the beginning of the movie was Agent Hanaway and he was killed while intercepting a routine courier drop. The courier was carrying Russian nuclear launch codes & these were now in the hands of the assassin that killed him. Hunt knows that IMF has been looking for an extremist, code name Cobalt. Cobalt is known to have a nuclear device and with the theft of the launch codes, his identity is now top priority for the IMF. Cobalt was a nuclear strategist for Russian intelligence. So Ethan has to go to Russia to break into the secret Kremlin archives and locate files identifying Cobalt. Easy right? Well apparently Cobalt is already on his way to the Kremlin, which gives Ethan 5 hours to complete his mission. This mission is going great but when he gets to the archives, he finds out that what he needs is already missing. Then someone taps into the IMF frequency and their cover is blown. So Ethan aborts the mission. Suddenly, a bomb destroys the Kremlin which knocks Ethan out and he awkes up in a Russian hospital. He finds out that he is now a wanted man, so he has to escape. The IMF picks Ethan up and catch him up to speed but their vehicle is attacked. One dude dies but another dude named William Brandt survives with Ethan. He finds out that the Russians have called the attack an undeclared act of war and the US president activates "Ghost Protocol", which disavows the entire IMF. Based on Ethan's description of who he saw in the Kremlin with a briefcase, they identifies Cobalt as Kurt Hendricks. They believe Hendricks bombed the Kremlin and got the Russian nuclear launch-control device, and now needs its codes from the Dubai. So off to Dubai they go! Ethan has to hack the server room. Obviously the only way to do that is from the outside with him using these special gloves hundreds of stories in the air. The plan is to make Wistrom, who is there on Hendricks behalf, believe he is getting the real codes, which are actually from Ethan and Brandt who are with the actual real codes in another room acting like they're the buyers. It's a whole thing. The plan is going great until the code women realizes that Brandt is taking pictures with his eyes. Wistom is getting away, so Ethan chases him into a sand storm. Turns out, Wistom is just Hendricks in a mask and he gets away! This is bad news. The team is all mad at each other. Hendricks got away and Jane accidentally kicked the seller out of a window. Whoops. It's at this point that Ethan accuses Brandt of keeping secrets from them because his fighting skills show that he's not just an analyst. Brandt admits he used to be an agent on the field. He was actually security detail to Ethan and his wife Julia. Julia was killed by a Serbian hit squad, prompting Ethan to pursue and kill them before he was caught by the Russians and sent to prison, where he was at the beginning of the movie. Brandt blames himself and never wanted to be out on the field again. They get word on where Henricks is going to be next. So off to Mumbai they go. They go to a party being thrown by Indian telecommunications guru. They believe he has struck a deal with Henricks and that he's going to use his sattelite. So Brandt breaks into the server room to take the satellite offline while Jane gets hot shot tech guy to reveal the satellite override code. But Hendricks takes the servers offline before they can finish the plan. He fires a nuclear missile on San Francisco from a Russian submarine which would look like retaliation for the Kremlim bombing. The only way to stop the missile is via the abort sequence on the launch device that Hendricks is carrying. Hunt pursues Hendricks and the launch device while the other team-members attempt to bring the broadcast station back online so that the abort command will transmit. Hunt and Hendricks fight over the launch-control and he's able to hit the button and the power turns back on with 1 second to spare. No Nuclear war today! Plus, the IMF is proved innocent. The team comes together to celebrate and he gives them all a new mission. Brandt refuses at first until Ethan explains that Julia isn't actually dead, it was all a cover, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Off to the next mission they go.

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHWe're in Sydney, Australia. Biocyte Pharmaceuticals. This Einstein looking mother goose shoots himself in the wrist with this gun that has some sort of drug in it. Apparently he created a bioweapon for Biocyte called Chimera but also created the cure for it. And he needs to get it into the right hands. Next thing you know, he's on a plane sitting next to Ethan Hunt. He's the right hands. The plane experiences some cabin pressure loss, so the masks come down. Ethan stands up to take a look at whats up. People with the masks on start dropping like flies. Turns out, it's not really Ethan Hunt. It's a dude in the mask. Son of a gun got me again! There's a group of baddies who take the briefcase that Einstein had in his hands. They kill him and jump out of the plane before it crashes.Next thing you know, we're with Ethan Hunt, the real one. and he's just rock climbing, free solo style. It's nuts. Suddenly, this bag with glasses appear and he's given his mission - find this women named Nyah who apparently is the ex of Ambrose, the head of the guys from the plane. They think she'll be able to help get the briefcase back seeing as how she's also a profession thief. Ethan finds Nyah at this party trying to pick a lock for a necklace. Ethan tries to warn Nyah that the lock is protected by a fool proof alarm, but she ignores him. They are surrounded by armed guards. Thanks to Ethan's cover, he helps her escape, but she's not interested in working with him. Ethan chases Nyah in his car and he saves her life when car skids and falls over the cliff edge. They then have special time and she agrees to help him. Ethan then meets mission commander Swanbeck who reveals that Einstein had sent a video message to Ethan, while Ethan was out climbing. Now he's dead. And that's why you don't go on vacation. Apparently Ambrose was ordered by Swanbeck to impersonate Ethan Hunt since that who Einstein trusted but then he went rouge. Ethan's mission is to find this briefcase with the drug in it and bring it back.Nyah is not happy to learn that she has been recruited because she was Ambrose's ex-girlfriend but she agrees to help. Ethan get a team together. Luther is back and then we meet Billy, an australian helicopter pilot. Nyah sets up a time to meet with Ambrose. He sends someone to bring her to him which she's okay with because she knows that Ethan is tracking her and will keep her safe. One of Ambrose's associates, Hugh, suggests that Nyah's timing is a big suspcious, so he cuts off the tip of his pinky. Ambrose makes a memory card with information on Chimera and brings it to the race track to show to John McCloy, the CEO of Biocyte. Ethan sees Ambrose showing the contents of the memory card to McCloy on a camera. Nyah is able to get that card and gives it to Ethan. The card confirms that the drug is deadly. She gets back to Ambrose and she sneaks the card back into his pocket, which he notices but plays it cool. McCloy gets into his limo which has been taken by the IMF and they pump it full of this gas. When he wakes up, he's in a fake hospital room and is greeted by the ghost of Einstein. He tells him he's been infected with Chimera. McCloy admits that he ordered Chimera to be developed as a bio-weapon to sell for big bucks. Obviously, it's actually just Ethan in a mask and he now has all the information he needs. Nyah meets up with Ethan and they talk about the plan and we find out that it's not actually Ethan, rather it's Ambrose in a mask. So many masks, so little time. Ambrose decides he's going to use Nyah as bait to get Ethan to show up. Ethan and his team work on a plan to break into Biocyte and destory the remaining Chimera samples. Ethan enters the building from the roof, cuz it's Mission Impossible. He gets into the labs and begins to get rid of the remaining samples. Ther'es one left when he is suddenly ambused by Ambrose and his team. Ethan isn't worried about it until he finds out that Ambrose brought Nyah. He sends her over to grab the last gun of Chimera.. Nyah injects the virus into her body, giving her 20 hours to live and ensuring that Ambrose won't kill her. Ethan escapes but promising to save her. Ambrose releases Nyah on the streets of Sydney to spread the virus. Why? Because he meets back up with McCloy with a vile of the virus. He says he doesn't wants his money, he wants stock because as the Chimera outbreak grows, BioCyte will make a ton of money since they already have the anti-virus. McCloy isn't thrilled with this plan but there's not much he can do. Suddenly, there's a knock on the door. It's an explosive thrown by Ethan. Ambrose tells his baddies to go kill him, including Hugh. Ethan and Hugh get into a big fight. He is able to put an Ethan mask onto Hugh and put a Hugh mask on himself. Ambrose them killed the fake Ethan. But when Ambrose see's fake Ethan's finger, he realizes what he's done. While Ambrose was distracted by this, the real Ethan takes the vials containing the virus and the antidote and runs to the helicopter waiting for him outside. Ambrose catches up with him first which leads to a bit of a chase with Ethan on a motorcycle, riding it through fire and what not. Ultimately, it leads to a fight between Ambrose and Ethan and Ethan is able to kill him in one of the more ridiculous ways you could imagine. They tracked Nyah down and brought her to Ethan and Luther injects her with the anti-virus! Commander Swanbeck reminds Ethan he was supposed to bring back a sample of the Chimera virus and he's like sorry. Nyah's record is wiped clean and Ethan ends the movie by meeting up with her and kissing big ones cuz everything is just a Hallmark movie in disguise, some might say a mask.
We need to talk about Ethan Hunt, one last time. Jason and Rosie are suiting up in their high tech dive suits and diving so deep (like Sevastopol levels of deep) with their reactions to Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning. Were the set pieces enough? Do we care about Gabriel as a villain? Was it worth it for Jason to see this movie in 4DX? Plus, we have a DOUBLE omnibus! Jason and Rosie merge their two halves of the cruciform key to explore the stunt work in the movies as well as the history of the television show that started it all.
