Film: Mission Impossible Final Reckoning

Every parent of a young boy in the world is familiar with "hey dad, look at me..." followed by jumping off the bunk bed, climbing the monkey bars, or throwing a curve ball, etc. These films are Tom Cruise doing "hey dad look at me" to the whole world as a 60-something year old man with a $500 million dollar budget.

Other observations:

-a lot of nuclear bombs laying around on timers in this world

-exposition at the beginning comically poor

-set pieces are beyond incredible

-nice final moment as a callback to the conceit of the franchise

The best part of the later part of the franchise: side character casting. A lot nice discoveries.
