Thug Life: First trailer for Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam's epic gangster film has dropped|Watch

<p>It has been nearly 3 decades since Tom Cruise suspended himself from the ceiling inside a CIA vault and stole classified data of the US government from a computer. That set the stage for death-defying stunts in subsequent films in the franchise. As Tom Cruise returns as Ethan Hunt in <em>Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning,</em> and hangs from a plane, fighting his opponent and nemesis Gabriel while defying gravity, one wonders if the tried and tested template of the MI series is finally wearing off.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Plot of the film</h2>
<p>The 8th and presumably the final in the series, <em>Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning</em>, picks up from where <em>Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One</em> ended. AI and its threat to world peace loom large and Ethan Hunt is beckoned by the US President to come and save the world.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Entity - the villainous Artificial Intelligence, threatens to encrypt the data system of Nuclear-empowered countries across the world and detonate bombs across the world, which can start World War III and erase mankind. It is up to Ethan to find a solution and save the world in a matter of four days.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ethan gathers his usual trusted aids- Luther (Luther (Ving Rhames), Benji (Simon Pegg), pickpocket-turned-agent Grace (Hayley Atwell) and former assassin Paris (Pom Klementieff). The group, quick on their heels, race against time to find the source code of the Entity called Podkova, buried in a submerged Russian submarine. The device has to be paired with the 'poison pill' - developed by Luther- to neutralise it and restore order in the world.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Naturally, Ethan is given the charge to do the impossible. Dive deep into the sea to retrieve the Podkova, buried inside a submarine whose coordinates are also not known by most. And Ethan stays true to his reputation, free falling from a plane into the freezing Arctic ocean, hanging from a plane mid-air, going deep into the sea to retrieve an important gadget and even saving himself from a possible attack in his underpants.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Tom Cruise saves the day</h2>
<p>By now playing the daredevil, slightly maverick agent Hunt comes naturally to Tom Cruise, and at 62 he is willing to still go the extra mile to give the audience the adrenaline rush in the theatre. But is it needed from a man who has time and again proved his mettle? Cruise, for decades, has remained the undisputed action star who never shies away from dangerous stunts. But at some point in <em>The</em> <em>Final Reckoning,</em> the stunts seem to feel repetitive and even (dare I say) prolonged.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>What does not work</h2>
<p><em>Mission: Impossible -The Final Reckoning</em> also suffers from an inconsistent narrative. The film oscillates between being reflective and thought-provoking to an out-and-out action entertainer, which on many occasions defies logic. One expects high-octane, death-defying stunts in <em>Mission: Impossible</em> films, but director Christopher McQuarrie, who also serves as co-writer and co-producer of the film, tries to jump into the conversation around AI and its misuse in the world. The result is that a film with a legacy of having superlative action sequences indulges in a whole lot of conversations and less action. The film treads on the first half sluggishly, picks up pace in portions where Hunt is trying to retrieve the Podkova or the poison pill and again slips a bit during the climax, making the film uneven in terms of its narration.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film provides ample room for Cruise to flex his muscles and do what he is best at-action. But the prolonged scenes - specuially the one where he is hanging from a plane mid-air and portions in the submarine seem stretched even for an average Tom Cruise movie standard.&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The final chapter of Mission: Impossible?</h2>
<p>While there is no official word on whether this is the final film in the <em>Mission: Impossible</em> franchise, I do feel Ethan Hunt needs to rest. It is not possible to project an ageing actor as a superhero who remains unscathed no matter what. Give him the rest he needs, its been 30 years of Ethan Hunt saving the world, let someone else take on his responsibility.&nbsp;</p>

Mission: Impossible- The Final Reckoning review: Tom Cruise dives mid-sea, fights mid-air to save the world

<p>The three pillars of DC are Superman, Batman and Wonder. Ever since the DCU was announced, we have been getting steady updates on the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight, with the upcoming <em>Superman</em> movie and <em>Batman: The Brave and the Bold</em> in pre-production, but when it comes to Wonder Woman, the updates have been slim.</p>

<h2>James Gunn teases hopeful news on Wonder Woman</h2>
<p>While we did get an announcement for a prequel series set on the mystical island of Themyscira, home of the Amazons, we haven't had any updates on a <em>Wonder Woman</em> movie. James Gunn has shared a positive update on when fans can expect to see the DCU's Diane in action.</p>

<p>After sharing the new trailer for<em> Superman</em>, James Gunn was asked on the DCU's Wonder Woman, to which the director replied "Not to be shared publicly yet but yes. Encouraging". While on the surface this does not appear to be much, if online speculations are to be believed there is a strong possibility that we will get an announcement soon.</p>

<p>At the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, fans were shocked when Pedro Pascal stopped his <em>Eddington</em> co-star Joaquin Phoenix from waving at fans, while they were walking the red carpet along with their fellow cast members Emma Stone and Austin Butler and director Ari Aster.</p>

<h2>Why did Pedro stop Joaquin?</h2>
<p>The incident happened when the cast reached the top of the Palais steps of the Auditorium Louis Lumi&egrave;re and turned around and waved to the fans. However, when Joaquin waved, Pedro pulled his hand down and whispered something in his ear and the actor suddenly had a shocked look on his face and quickly put his hands in his pocket.</p>

<p>Online sleuths were quick to deduce that Pedro most likely stopped the actor because his wave got interpreted wrong and might be seen as a N*zi salute. If this were indeed the case, Phoenix should be thanking Pedro's quick thinking.</p>

<p>Justin Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, has submitted a signed affidavit to the court, doubling down on claims that Blake Lively's legal team threatened Taylor Swift to support Lively in her upcoming legal battle with her <em>It Ends With Us</em> co-star Baldoni.</p>

<h2>Alleged threats involving Taylor Swift</h2>
<p>According to a report by <em>People</em>, Freedman said in the new affidavit that Lively's legal team reached out to an attorney who represents Taylor Swift and threatened to release private text messages between Swift and Lively if the singer did not offer public support. Blake Lively and her team have denied the claims.</p>
<p>The actress's legal team released a statement regarding the allegations, saying that they &ldquo;rely completely upon a source, no matter who it is, that doesn&rsquo;t even claim to have witnessed the conversations that Freedman describes, making this triple-hearsay statement as unreliable as information reported from children in a game of telephone.&rdquo;</p>
