Misión: Imposible - Sentencia mortal. Parte Uno

Curiosidades
The frequent delays caused by COVID-19 ballooned the budget to $291 million, making it the most expensive Mission: Impossible film (surpassing Fallout, $178 million), the most expensive film of Tom Cruise's career (again surpassing Fallout), and the most expensive film ever produced by Paramount (surpassing Transformers: El último caballero (2017), $217 million). The insurance company Chubb originally gave Paramount only £4.4 million (about $5.4 million) for the delays, arguing that the cast and crew could still fulfill their duties to the production despite being infected with COVID-19. Paramount sued Chubb in 2021, and the two companies settled in 2022. In 2023, Chubb gave Paramount a £57 million (about $71 million) payout for the COVID-caused delays, reducing the film's budget to about $220 million, which still makes it the most expensive film for Cruise, Paramount, and the franchise.

Pifias
Steam trains, especially moving at high speeds, need to be continuously provided with fuel, in this case coal. With the engineers killed and the controls opened all the way, the locomotive would have gradually slowed down and come to a halt as the pressure in the boiler dropped. That train would never have reached the bridge for that distance with no coal provided.

Since the early 1900s, when firebox coal consumption exceeded the efforts of two men, the trains have used mechanical stokers. The coal would continue feeding without one missing coal shoveler.

Citas
Ethan Hunt: [speaking in italian] Thank you officers. Please. You can wait ouside. Thank you.
[the police leave the area]
Grace: You. You did this.
Ethan Hunt: I called the police. I didn't tell them about your colorful past.
[throwing a file folder]
Ethan Hunt: That's on you. You put-pocketed the key on another passenger before you were arrested. You exchanged details and arranged to meet later on. Right now somewhere out there hasn't the slightest clue they're holding on to that key for you. An unwitting courier. The perfect accomplice
[describing the person Grace has used as a mule to carry an item]
Ethan Hunt: I'm guessing a man... middle aged? A man waiting his whole life to be noticed by a woman like you. An orphan. Highly intelligent. Inherently resourceful. Growing up in the poverty left you longing for the finer things. Other's people's things. Someone saw your potential and helped you hone your skills. Skills that gave you the life thought you wanted. Tailored clothes, fine dining, luxury hotels. Skills that kept you one step ahead of the law, until now.
Grace: You can't blame a girl for trying to make a dishonest living.
Ethan Hunt: You had no idea what you stealing. Otherwise you never would stolen it.
Grace: Tell you what. You get me out of here, and I'll take you straight to the key.
Ethan Hunt: I have a better idea. You're gonna tell me everything. Then I'll think about getting out of here. Now start with who hired you. And don't lie to me, because I'll know.
Grace: I have no idea who hired me. Contact with the client was almost entirely electronic.
Ethan Hunt: Email?
Grace: Texts.
Ethan Hunt: Encrypted?
Grace: Naturally.
Ethan Hunt: Almost?
Grace: Pardon?
Ethan Hunt: You said contact with client was "almost" entirely electronic.
Grace: There was a dead drop in a cafe in Luxembourg. An envelope.
Ethan Hunt: What was in the envelope?
Grace: A ticket to Abu Dhabi. And... a picture of you. My instructions were to follow you at the airport. You'd be taling a mark. Said mark would have a key and four million in criptocurrency. That drive was useless, by the way. It was empty. The only hope I have of getting paid is to deliver your half of the key.
Ethan Hunt: And you were instructed to deliever it to...
Grace: Venice. Party at Ducake Palace, Tomorrow. Midnight Venice.
Ethan Hunt: [looking at the door] You expecting someone?
Grace: Your friends from the airport. Saw them in the halleay a few minutes ago.
Ethan Hunt: You could have said something sooner.
Grace: Well, they we're chaising you, not me.

Banda sonora
The Mission: Impossible Theme
Written by Lalo Schifrin

First of all: the introduction was very good in my opinion (30 min👀). The plot is meh, it s just a two piece key which is being followed the whole movie. The IMF team has just the scene at the airport in the beginning basically. There are no tricks and twists as in the last movies of the series. A Mission Impossible film of nearly 3 hours cannot contain like 5 (maybe?) Action scenes. Plus what the hell did they do with Ilsa? They just ended the storyline which was built very well in the last movies. Literally nonsense. The bike stunt has been literally spoiled everywhere as the movie sequence is exactly like the trailers. Really hope for part two to deliver a proper ending to this franchise (hope they will not do as Game of Thrones)
