I've watched this so many times on my own, was finally great seeing it again with the two of you, such a pleasure to watch these movies, and especially with my two favourite girls on the net. Cannot wait for 'Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning' this July.
Rick Rodriguez
Fun fact. Tom Cruise almost made a movie about Houdini with Paul Verhoeven in the 90s.
Cole Jennett
I didn’t realize that Ethan Hunt, much like Scott Lang in Ant Man 2, must have also studied at Online Close-up Magic University!
Cole Jennett
So even on a 2nd watch you still don’t recognize Mantis from Guardians of the Galaxy hey? I know that Carly, inexplicably, has not watched those movies, but Cassie you don’t have the same excuse😉 I do think it’s time for you girls to watch Tom Cruise back in the glory days in “Cocktail”.
John Drake
Yes Carly, we all remember you in that red dress 💃!
Clarence Newman
She could also do what the hardcore, corporate companies do when they advertise something like that. "FIRST TIME WATCHING.....!!!" Then in tiny writing at the bottom of the page ("....in our home theater.")

Vanessa Kirby is very good as shown in this as "Alanna/White widow" and also playing "Grace" (Hayley Atwell's character) playing "Alanna", as the ladies pointed out. But it should also be noted that the base of the character when she was introduced in "Mission: Impossible - Fallout" is being the daughter of "Max" the broker from the original "Mission: Impossible" played by Vanessa Redgrave. So there is a little of the "Max" character in Vanessa Kirby's performance as well, to start with and then character swap on top in this movie.
Mister Lou
also you two are SO LUCKY to have seen this movie and the cast and got to talk with Tom and the director?! So fetch! maybe they'll invite you back for Final Reckoning? That'd be dope! I wish that for you both!
Mister Lou
idc if this is your 10TH time watching this, I be here to watch it again with you two! I love these movies and THIS one in particular! Dead Reckoning is BY FAR the best part one of two.. Mainly because they say from jump, this is a part one of two. Where as Fast X and Spider-Man didn't and I was totally thrown off by both. I feel like they had an abrupt stop, and said part 2 coming soon.. Like at least this one had a great beginning, middle and end for a two part story. and the others relied too much on a cliff hanger.
Stick Figure Studios
Yeah, the sequel was disappointing.
Walter
Jack Reacher is a great movie. The sequel I don't like, but the first is really good.
Jeff Smith
That’s what I’m saying, each installment is better.
Rick Williams
This movie is amazing. They just keep getting better. The stunts are amazing. This is how movies were meant to be made. Great Reaction Cassie & Carly. You two are marvelous.
Steve Mercier
Paris, the scary woman who redeems herself in the end, is Pom Klementieff: Mantis from Guardians of the Galaxy.
Stick Figure Studios
If it helps, try to think of it as a throwback to the kind of "adult" (as in not aimed at teenagers) movies Hollywood used to make a lot more of... and make well. Not a "sensational" stunt spectacular like the M:I movies, but a smart, witty, violent mystery-drama with a confident sense of style and pace, a charismatic star in the lead, some thrilling action scenes (which are not so frequent as to become tiresome or overwhelm the story) and a refreshing lack of conspicuous special effects. I thought JACK REACHER had the look, feel and, perhaps most importantly, attitude of a 1970's thriller, a time when stories could be tough, gritty and even cynical without being despairingly bleak or nihilistic and when heroes (or "anti-heroes") could be complex and subversive without being completely depraved or sociopathic. One could easily imagine JACK REACHER being directed by Don Siegel and featuring a young Clint Eastwood in the titular role (indeed, the opening sequence is very reminiscent of the prologue to DIRTY HARRY).
Philip Alan
And I love their M:I collabs. I could not get into the movie. Probably was in a mood. I may try again.
Stick Figure Studios
Really? I thought it was riveting from the first scene to the last (and had one of the best car chases I've seen on screen in a long time).
Philip Alan
I'm not sure why, but that movie put me to sleep. I did not enjoy it.
Stick Figure Studios
You ladies still need to watch JACK REACHER, the first collaboration between Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie.
Philip Alan
💯
V M
There's a difference in the lighting?
Cole Jennett
Cassie probably more then Carly. She’d be somewhat less turned off by the salty language.
Uncle Phoenix
Honestly in terms of Christmas Movies, I think Cassie and Carly would enjoy Denis Leary’s “The Ref”.
Joe
Hollywood accounting is pretty bonkers, but it seems the studios lose money on most films. The budgets are crazy high and every film has to have like 2000 union people working on it.
Joe
For truth in advertising, Cassie will have to put, "2nd Time Watching" on the YT edit (haha).
Joe
Fantastic movie, one of my favorites.
rakesh
Been enjoying Rebecca Ferguson in Silo on Apple TV. Worth bingeing over xmas!
Clarence Newman
Wherever he is, Tom Cruise has just texted Chris McQuarrie and said "Chris! Clear your evening! The reaction just dropped!"
TheSingulatarian
She needs to see Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder. Frank TJ Mackie in Magnolia And his character who I'm too lazy to look up his name in Born on the Fourth of July. Cruise can do more than romantic comedies and action films.
TheSingulatarian
Her name is an homage to the role that Leonard Nimoy played on the original Mission Impossible TV series.
TheSingulatarian
If you like this movie. The greatest AI movie ever made was 50 years ago "Colossus: The Forbin Project". Not easy to find as it has been swept from the internet. It is a thinker, and the technology is dated but is the kind of movie that creeps under your skin and stays with you. To see it you have to buy the Blu-ray or it is available on the internet archive for free. https://archive.org/details/colossus-the-forbin-project-1970.
Clarence Newman
Ooooh, I haven't seen it yet, but that was one of my big gripes about the theater room. I'm glad it's sorted.
Alex Tan
I do hope that The Final Reckoning (2025) makes a lot more, even if it has to compete with the live-action remake of Disney's Lilo & Stitch (2025) on Memorial Day weekend.
Chris Thom
Oh good so I'm not that far behind.
Pat Waters
The previous one Mission: Impossible Fallout
kaiielle
Yes! It looks great!
Philip Alan
Thank you for the better lighting in the theater room! 💡💡
Redrum Ritual
I think the reason this movie didn't make as much money as the others, some may say it was the writers/actors strike, but I think this movie came out the week before Barbie Oppenheimer weekend. Plus, the talking at the beginning of the movie ran too long. Still a good movie
Cole Jennett
That was the last one
_tragicmike
I agree!
Rose
Same - can’t wait for this one!
Cole Jennett
I like Rogue Nation best, but I agree they have all been quality since 2
Chris Thom
Last one I saw of this series was the one with Henry Cavill.
Adam Grunther
I still can’t believe you got to meet Tom Cruise at the premier of this movie. That’s beyond freaking cool!
Rick Rodriguez
But...to the east. Look to the coming in the east 😫
Walter
Excellent. I've been looking forward to watching this again. One of the only series I can think of that has gotten better with every installment (though I do think Fallout is my favorite)
Brian McGovern
Do not trust to hope. It has forsaken these lands
Rick Rodriguez
When he cracked that smile they couldn't resist.
Rick Rodriguez
I REEEAAAALLLY hope a certain someone is actually not gone from the series. Hopefully that's cryptic enough.
Bill Maurer
Pom Klementieff/Paris was great in this movie 🍿. Glad she returns in the next one
Cole Jennett
I’m not positive, but I think you may have a bias towards Tom Cruise😉 jk
