Silver Screen Weekly - What's Coming Up At The Cinema From Friday 14th July 2023

 
Our film critic and media correspondent has been looking and trawling the new releases. Here's what you can see on the big screen this week.


Out Now

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (12a)
The fuse has been lit! Your mission if you choose to accept it, is to go see Tom Cruise back in action as IMF agent Ethan Hunt in Christopher McQuarrie’s high stakes Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One. This seventh film in the iconic action film franchise sees Hunt and his IMF team tasked with tracking down a deadly weapon that could spell an end to humanity if it lands in the wrong hands. While a new foe emerges, Hunt is forced to truly face the impossible, a mission that questions his strict moral code, and whether the mission can ever matter more than the lives of those he cares about? Co-starring franchise regulars Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg and Rebecca Ferguson, alongside newcomers Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff and Esai Morales, this mission may be the most breathtaking yet. Chock full of set pieces and stunts that show that nobody is doing it like Tom Cruise on the big screen, and critics have hailed this as not only the blockbuster of the year but one of the best ever made.
