Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning Features The Best Action Scene In The Entire Franchise
Image
Spoilers follow.

One of the strange quirks of the nearly three-decade-old "Mission: Impossible" franchise of action films is that while the series is known for its amazing, jaw-dropping setpieces, the climaxes of these films aren't always the most notable part. "Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol," for example, has the incredibly tense sequence in which dedicated Imf Agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) scales the side of the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai ... but that setpiece occurs in the middle of the film, and the movie concludes with a fight sequence in the middle of a high-rise parking garage. The original "Mission: Impossible" is well-known for its deadly silent CIA break-in sequence, which also occurs at the midpoint. While its ending scene on the fast-moving Chunnel is well-done, that sequence has always paled in comparison to the image of Cruise dangling on a wire and barely avoiding slamming onto the pressurized floor.
