You should watch the previous MI movie on Amazon Prime prior to this one. It starts where the previous movie left off.

Delayed gratification is especially nice now that I've grown old. I waited to watch Dune One and Dune Two back to back...totally worth the wait.

I've been holding on to Mission:Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One for two years now just waiting for this wrap-up.

Someone tell me Tom Cruise isn't trying to die while being filmed. Only an egomaniacal cultist-type with more money than sense would do such a thing. Oh wait...

He uses safety harnesses and cables. The film editors can hide the cables in the process. In post #29 you can see the cables: one vertical (causing his coat to bulge between his shoulders) and one horizontal. I think the horizontal one was to make sure he couldn’t quite make it and have to hang on the side of the building (more dramatic than an uneventful jump, roll, and get up and run). You can see the layer of padding that sticks out about 3” from the actual top and side of that building,and that matches the color too.
