The final action sequence in Mission: Impossible 7 is strongly reminiscent of the 2009 video game Uncharted 2, and the co-director has now shared the proof himself online.
The Mission: Impossible series outdoes itself in terms of breathtaking action from part to part. Part 7, which is currently in cinemas, also offers several spectacular sequences, including “the biggest stunt in film history”.
