The Lobby: Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One (Patreon)

Are the Mission Impossible movies well-executed but forgettable blockbuster fare, or the gold standard for action films today? Maybe both? Scott, Keith, and Tasha convened recently to discuss the new seventh entry, Dead Reckoning Part One, which observes the rule of "three great scenes, no bad ones," and thankfully avoids feeling like half a movie despite the being a "part one," but also suggests the Christopher McQuarrie era of this franchise may have hit its ceiling. All are in agreement on one thing, though: Tom Cruise is good at this.
