Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One offers not only the franchise's most incredible stunt but also the unexpected death of a major character. Ethan Hunt is the sole force that has kept the Mission: Impossible franchise alive for so long, although each movie gives more and more space for supporting characters to shine. While it's great to see Hunt springing into action with the help of his friends, their presence also elevates tension as they're constantly putting their lives at risk. Hunt takes advantage of an essential plot armor; on the other hand, his allies are just as vulnerable as the bad guys.
