The franchise peaked early with this and still hasn't recaptured the magic.
Mission: Impossible, a series following a covert agency dubbed the Impossible Mission Force, has encountered its own seemingly impossible mission: improving its villains. The Tom Cruise-led franchise peaked early on the antagonist front and has since seen a dearth of memorable, effective bad guys. That limitation has become the wildly imaginative series' most consistent impediment.
Unlike the routinely bland or delightfully goofy villains that populate the other Mission: Impossible movies, Owen Davian is the walking personification of apathetic evil. Even when he's tied to a chair and dangled out of a moving airplane as an interrogation tactic, he's utterly unruffled. He has no personal vendetta against Ethan or the IMF. He's just a for-profit pencil pusher who's nonchalantly annoyed at the inconvenience Ethan's thrown his way.
Rogue Nation and Fallout, meanwhile, benefit from sharing the same villain. It's a first for the franchise, and Harris's role as a rogue MI6 agent harkens back to Mission: Impossible 2. Lane is an anarchist force of nature Harris infuses with a chilly menace. Nevertheless, Rogue Nation and Fallout recycle the threat of nuclear war first with the Syndicate and then with a version of the Syndicate that went through a rebranding campaign after Lane's imprisonment.
Enter Gabriel to do most of Dead Reckoning's baddie heavy lifting. Morales oozes cool confidence and a detached yet vindictive hatred as an old nemesis from Ethan's past. Everyone is a disposable tool in Gabriel's chess game, and his disdain is palpable.
