Conclusion: 5/5
I love all the filming locations especially by the Spanish Steps in Rome and also Venice. The filming started in Venice on the same day Northern Italy locked down for COVID-19. Production was then moved to Rome, only to be shut down again. I thought Tom Cruise is just amazing how he does all his own stunts. There is a scene where we see a bridge being blown up, this is a reference to the climactic train wreck scene in the silent film The General (1926). There are so many scenes where I felt I was on the edge of my seat. Even though this film is 2h 43m I couldn’t believe how quickly the time went. Believe it nor not this is the first film in the “Mission: Impossible” franchise to receive an Oscar nomination. All I can say is that I can’t wait for Part Two!!
