Paramount Pictures has finally released the seventh installment of the Mission: Impossible franchise into theaters, and it was met with critical acclaim. Not only is Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One the highest-rated movie in the franchise, it’s also Tom Cruise’s highest-rated film of all time, and from everything we’ve seen so far, it looks like one of the most action-packed films we’ve seen in a long time. Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning does a lot of things that push the franchise forward, but it also features a major death that might piss fans off.
