![Mission: Impossible 7: Dead Reckoning (Steelbook) - 4K Blu-Ray [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/522a0e5e-47e3-45dc-99a8-e02c79a51f5d.jpg)
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE - DEAD RECKONING - STEELBOOK ULTRA HD - It seemed like another work day for IMF agent Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) when he retrieved half of an electronic key in Saudi Arabia. However, when he learns his prize is the only failsafe against the Entity-an AI that's gone sentient, gone rogue, and permeated the defense systems of the world's powers-he must lead his team off the books in order to destroy it. Sizzling seventh series entry also stars Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Hayley Atwell, Rebecca Ferguson, Vanessa Kirby, Esai Morales. 163 minutes.

Dead Reckoning - Part 1
on November 14, 2023
Posted by: BaileyB
Verified Purchase:Yes
While both feeling slapdash and thoroughly fleshed out, Dead Reckoning Part One seems to be setting up an open-ended endgame that adds some exciting new elements like a fun Hayley Atwell, a fearsome Pom Klementieff and interesting concepts about freewill and the threat of artificial intelligence. However, a certain verve is missing from the latest M:I, a strange problem following a franchise high that felt like it had been brewing from the beginning. Instead, Dead Reckoning Part One feels like the greatest hits of Tom Cruise and company doing exactly what you'd expect. The motorbike cliff jump had been advertised to us for over a year, with the reasoning behind the stunt not necessarily adding anything surprising to the setpiece. The finale is gonzo filmmaking fun, but it pales in comparison to the climaxes of the past three films, perhaps undercutting for a bigger and badder ending in the inevitable Part Two, but does little to provide more than a cute action scene. Even a few notable missteps left this M:I fan physically frustrated, dispatching a few characters in favor of, what exactly? Not even able to slow down to mourn or ponder the effects of these scenes, Dead Reckoning barrels on. These interspersed moments wouldn't be so egregious if the plot itself made more sense and rose above the hot topic of AI, but it doesn't even have much to say there, chopping up its thesis to AI = bad. Yeah, we know, and I would like more than anything to watch Tom Crusie kicks its reverberating circle into itself. Maybe next time!

Good Will Hunting
on November 14, 2023
Posted by: BaileyB
Verified Purchase:Yes
On paper Good Will Hunting appears so simple, perhaps it is, but the specific calculations used to create this incredibly human film are what make it so special and so effective. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck put their heart and soul, not only into the wonderful script but their moving performances as well. And for the former, it’s a prickly cool guy to empathetic real guy transformation. But the impressive performances don’t stop there, as Robin Williams tinges his usual comedic timing with a touch of melancholy, creating a character that pops up pretty late in the runtime but who takes hold for every scene after that. As does Minnie Driver who elevates the cliche girlfriend into a psychological roadblock Matt Damon must either face or ignore. Elliott Smith’s warm soundtrack perfectly matches the tone of 1990s Boston and the twinge of change brewing within the characters. Its basic plotting taken into account, it’s Good Will Hunting’s character study and emotional tale of choice, opportunity, and life that lift it far above similar dramas.

![The Invisible Man - 4K Blu-Ray [Standard] [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/fdedb54a-650a-4f70-8d92-b155aa9df92b.jpg)
What you can't see can hurt you. Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss (Us, Hulu's The Handmaid's Tale) stars in a terrifying modern tale of obsession inspired by Universal's classic monster character. Trapped in a violent, controlling relationship with a wealthy and brilliant scientist, Cecilia Kass (Moss) escapes in the dead of night and disappears into hiding, aided by her sister (Harriet Dyer, NBC's The InBetween), their childhood friend (Aldis Hodge, Straight Outta Compton) and his teenage daughter (Storm Reid, HBO's Euphoria). But when Cecilia's abusive ex (Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Netflix's The Haunting of Hill House) commits suicide and leaves her a generous portion of his vast fortune, Cecilia suspects his death was a hoax. As a series of eerie coincidences turns lethal, threatening the lives of those she loves, Cecilia's sanity begins to unravel as she desperately tries to prove that she is being hunted by someone nobody can see. Jason Blum, our current-day master of the horror genre, produces The Invisible Man for his Blumhouse Productions. The Invisible Man is written, directed and executive produced by Leigh Whannell, one of the original conceivers of the Saw franchise who most recently directed Upgrade and Insidious Chapter 3.

Verified Purchase:Yes
A trypophobic nightmare of unseen nerve-shredding, The Invisible Man is exemplary modern horror filmmaking that makes excellent use of negative space and an ace star.

The Boogeyman
on October 23, 2023
Posted by: BaileyB
Verified Purchase:Yes
Rob Savage's The Boogeyman is a surprisingly effective horror film, using its incredible cast to sell its monster exposition and craft rich, emotional characters. Star-in-the-making Sophie Thatcher owns the screen as our protagonist, still reeling from her mother's passing, and is forced to protect her little sister, the frightful and comedic gold Vivien Lyra Blair, from a terrifying sadistic entity. As their grieving father, Chris Messina could have been a stereotypical horror dad, yet he's able to find weight and sadness in his character as he comes to fully grasp the grief in his children and the horrors they face, thanks to a chilling harbinger in David Dastmalchian. With actually imaginative jump scares, Savage's direction shines here, a natural step up from Host and Dashcam's found footage schtick. Clever blocking emphasizes the characters and their risk visually upon the screen; with a monster that can emerge from anywhere, Savage employs impactful slow-mo and rapid moments to increase the anxiety and terror to an unrelenting degree.
