Warning: mild SPOILERS for Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One are in play. If you’re not current on the adventures of Ethan Hunt, you’ve been warned.
As Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One represents the latest step in storytelling from one of the best action movie franchises around, it seems that Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt was always bound to confront his past. This massive two-part narrative has been half told, and in the opinion of co-writer/director Christopher McQuarrie, it was the right time to play that card.
