Review: ‘Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning'
Opinions are the author's alone and not endorsed by 2 NEWS and/or Nexstar Media Group. DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — With a subtitle like 'The Final Reckoning,' one could argue that this is the last mission for Tom Cruise's Ethan Hunt. While Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie (the director of the last four) have been somewhat vague about that, it seems likely, given how this movie tries to connect the dots between all 8 films. How movies like new 'Mission: Impossible' accurately depict DoD assets In 'Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning,' we see the series at its most bloated, clocking in at 2 hours and 49 minutes. Admittedly, a lot of that runtime seems to be built around tying up plot threads between the films and explaining what Hunt needs to do to take down the 'Entity' — the thing itself being a riff on the dangers of AI. When the movie isn't exposition dumping or memorializing itself though, it features some audacious action set pieces. With next year's Oscars set to include a category for stunts, 'The Final Reckoning' should find itself sitting comfortably among the nominees list. The stunts are always crazy in a Mission Impossible movie, but this 8th entry ratchets them up to an even higher degree. The moments here are full of suspense, assuming that you're not to distracted by the plausibility of them. I found myself wowed by the scale of the stunts, my palms admittedly sweaty over the danger, but I also did ultimately wonder how Hunt would actually survive the encounters. There's also a matter of the characters. Each of them are there seemingly at Hunt's whim. They're not the most fleshed out group of individuals — in fact, they really blend into each other at times. This is prevalent to the point that it does make the final act feel a bit dragged out and weighed down. That act is mainly split between several things going on at the same time. It culminates into a satisfying conclusion, but getting there is a little rocky. The pacing of the film is questionable and the third act is a summation of that I'd say. That said, the final thing I'll note about this film is that it's just really cool to watch at times. The way the shadows wash over the characters or how the camera swings around a given character, either below them for a surprise Dutch angle or for an intense close up, the movie's got style. It's a long, maybe-finale to a series full of literal gravity-defying stunts and action set pieces. It's paced a little awkwardly and asks a lot of the viewer in terms of believability, but I guess all Mission Impossible movies do, so, one could argue — its consistent.

New DPD high-tech space combines tools to solve crime faster
DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — At the beginning of the year, the Dayton Police Department implemented a new technology to help them crack down on crimes in just hours. The Real Time Crime Center is a recent upgrade for DPD, having already led to dozens of arrests since it began in January. 2 NEWS visited the room to learn more about how the high-tech space is solving crimes. In the first two months, DPD said it was able to make 21 arrests and assist in 25 more by using the Real Time Crime Room. The department says the room even helped them solve one crime in less than an hour. 'So start to finish, from the time the call came in to the time that we had the suspect and gun recovered was about an hour,' said Major Paul Saunders, DPD. The Real Time Crime Room allowed DPD to track down the suspect in a shooting on Rugby Avenue, along with recovering fentanyl within an hour. With situations like this, Dayton police said they are getting a return on their investment. 'It has been wildly successful,' said Saunders. 'And I will say, technology without the people to operate it and effectively leverage it, is just like boxes and computers and screens.' Major Saunders is the push behind the operation, telling 2 NEWS how the room uses several technologies all in one space. This includes over 50 public safety cameras, 911 call records, the FLOCKOS system — which allows community members to live share their video — and over 70 license plate readers from across the city. 'We've had the technology for a long time, but they have not always been able to be accessed in one place,' said Joe Parlette, deputy city manager. Parlette said the room was created with the help of grant funding, general department funds and support from the city. 'In this case, absolute support and trust in Major Saunders to do it right,' said Parlette. Saunders says the help keeps them at the top of their game. 'Political leaders have shown support for the efforts to keep us efficient and at the top of our technology game,' said Saunders. The city of Dayton is looking to receive grant funding to support similar technology to expand the fire department next. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
