From Anthony Lane‘s review of MI:7, included in The New Yorker‘s 7.24 issue:
“The new movie, which is directed by Christopher McQuarrie, runs for two hours and forty-three minutes, and its full title is Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One, which takes about half an hour to say.
“If Part Two, which is due to be released next June, is of similar dimensions, we’ll be landed with a tale that is more than five hours in the telling. Concision junkies will have to look elsewhere.”
