Cruise does not just show his old stuff, though. He impresses with scenes from this latest entry as well. Death defying leaps are depicted throughout the trailer, as are instances underwater, crashing vehicles, and insane airplane stunts. Hanging from a 1930s biplane easily opens fans’ eyes, but the running and action-packed leaps and turns have fans gripping the edge of their seat as well. Cruise may be 62, but he is proving age is just a number with his shocking ability to maintain physical exersion throughout the trailer.
Final Thoughts

All indicators are that this may be the last entry to star Tom Cruise’s character, and if this is the case, they are packing a punch for the finale. With loaded references to previous entries and explosive scenes to cap off an iconic character, Cruise will have to escape handcuffs if he wants to save the world one more time. Based on the trailer, Mission Impossible has as much action as ever before, and Cruise is not shying away from it. The cout de grace may be the best one yet.
