Tom Cruise - the global superstar - is back as IMF agent Ethan Hunt in Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning One. The seventh instalment of this hugely successful franchise, directed by Christopher McQuarrie, was released on July 12. It also stars Hayley Atwell, Simon Pegg, Vingh Rhames and Esai Morales. As film critic Saibal Chatterjee wrote in his review for NDTV, “Ethan finds himself up against a mysterious and invisible power with the potential to wreak havoc on mankind.” While Tom Cruise has once again wowed us with his death-defying stunts, we would want you to look at some of his non-Mission Impossible films.
