“Mission: Impossible: The Final Reckoning,” a Paramount Pictures release in theaters Friday, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association for “bloody images, action, brief language, and sequences of strong violence.” Running time: 179 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

Henry Czerny, who first appeared as CIA director Eugene Kittridge in 1996, returns to "Mission: Impossible" and says revisiting the character has been "brilliant."
