No Time to Die (2021) & Mission Impossible: Fallout (2018)

[jserraglio]

Two action thrillers cap off thriving film franchises whose conventions have heavily inseminated one other.

The couple dozen of James Bond films may have reached an end point, but MI is still going strong, with Mission Impossible Number 7 due out in July of next year.

And my mission (and why should I not choose to accept it?) is to be in the theater the very day it comes out.

But both movies are brilliantly shot, and my students are of an age and a gender to be held in thrall by them.
