The first wave of reviews for the seventh Mission: Impossible film, Dead Reckoning Part One, have dropped and the film is being relieved overwhelmingly positive. The opening Rotten Tomatoes score for the film is battling it out with the current franchise leader, Fallout. Here's what critics are saying about the latest Tom Cruise thrill ride.
The Rotten Tomatoes score for Dead Reckoning Part One (at the time of this writing) is a 98% based on 84 reviews; making it the highest-rated film in the Mission: Impossible series.
