Over the past decade, Tom Cruise and the Mission: Impossible series have gone hand in hand. They’ve also become synonymous with the most satisfying franchise action in Hollywood at the moment, with Cruise pushing the envelope from film to film to make sure that he’s performing stunts that keep audiences on the edges of their seats. Soon, we all will be heading back to theaters for the latest chapter in the saga, Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning, Part One, and while the action set pieces help to sell a lot of tickets, but it’s not the main thing that helps to make the franchise so great.
