Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! This week we’re hanging off helicopters, sprinting across rooftops, and disarming nuclear bombs with the pulse-pounding Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018). Strap in as we break down the sixth entry in the franchise that somehow keeps getting better with age — just like Tom Cruise’s running form.

Directed by Christopher McQuarrie, Fallout is a masterclass in high-octane action, espionage, and what happens when your best-laid plans go completely off the rails. Picking up where Rogue Nation left off, the film follows IMF agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) as he races to recover stolen plutonium and prevent a global catastrophe, all while being shadowed by CIA operative August Walker (a moustachioed Henry Cavill in full-blown hammer-mode).

Mission: Impossible – Fallout is everything you want from a blockbuster: smart, stylish, and absurdly entertaining. It’s the kind of movie that reminds you why the cinema was invented — big screen thrills, practical effects, and heroes just trying to do the right thing, even when the odds are impossible.

Perfect for older teens and up, it’s a great gateway to the M:I franchise or a highlight for returning fans. Just be warned — you may find yourself trying to reload your arms like Cavill afterwards.

An action film operating at the absolute peak of its powers, Fallout proves that this franchise isn’t slowing down anytime soon. In fact, it might just be the best of the bunch.
