After watching Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One for the second time, one thought struck me: Hayley Atwell is a superstar. Despite her solid work in Black Mirror and Marvel’s Captain America, this gem has somehow remained hidden in obscurity, stuck making pointless cameos in silly superhero adventures and voicing CGI animals.
Hayley Atwell goes for broke with her performance, showcasing a range of emotions during her substantial screen time. What starts as a bewildering interaction with Ethan at Abu Dhabi’s airport quickly evolves into an amusing partnership. Grace loves the danger, grinning like a schoolgirl during Ethan’s constant pursuits, but doesn’t quite understand the implications of her actions.
It’s a refreshing display of vulnerability from a hero in a modern action film. Grace doesn’t back down from a fight or miss an easy mark, provided it serves her best interests, but she has her limits. She takes on the villain Gabriel, gets her butt kicked, tries to flee in a car, smashes everything in sight , and freaks out when facing a collapsing train. She’s also not impervious to mistakes and miscalculations, failing to realize Ethan’s trustworthiness before it’s too late.
