Tom Cruise Praises Ana de Armas' New Movie Amid Dating Rumors
is all praise about his rumored girlfriend ' new movie, 'Ballerina.' The two stars have been at the center of romance rumors for quite some time since their public sightings together. Last week, while promoting his film 'Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning,' the actor spoke highly of de Armas' movie, assuring a reporter that they were going to love watching it. Cruise's statement also coincided with de Armas' revelation about working with the 'Top Gun' star on several projects. Tom Cruise took a break from promoting his new 'Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning' movie, diverting attention to rumored girlfriend Ana de Armas' upcoming film, 'Ballerina.' While speaking to reporters, Cruise revealed that he watched de Armas' film and shared that 'it kicks a–.' He gushed, 'Oh, man, it's right in that tone. It's right in that big world. You're going to love it.' 'Ballerina' is a spin-off of the John Wick franchise starring de Armas and Keanu Reeves. The film is set to release next month. Cruise isn't the only one showering praises; de Armas also dished about the duo's working relationship. During her appearance on 'Good Morning America' last week, de Armas admitted that she and Cruise have been working on several projects together. Currently, the rumored couple is strictly keeping things professional in public. However, Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas' joint appearances since February have given enough reasons for netizens to speculate that the two actors share more than just a professional connection. What began with helicopter rides and street sightings quickly led to more appearances. Earlier this month, the two reportedly left David Beckham's birthday party together, fueling ongoing dating rumors. Moreover, a source recently shared that Cruise and de Armas have a 'low-key' romance brewing between them. The 'Mission Impossible' actor has been reportedly courting de Armas and is 'super smitten' over her. The insider also expressed that their romance is still in the 'early stages' with the 'Ballerina' star wanting to take it slow. As of now, neither Tom Cruise nor Ana de Armas has addressed the rumors publicly. The post Tom Cruise Praises Ana de Armas' New Movie Amid Dating Rumors appeared first on Reality Tea.

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.
