Poll: Directors on an Impossible Mission
When Tom Cruise began the Mission: Impossible (1996) films, he went in a different direction than he ever had before. This was the first time he had ever appeared in sequels. Also, as he said in an interview, "I began producing the films with the goal that a different director with his own vision would make each one." After making five M:I with five disparate directors, perhaps Cruise feels that he completed his goal, as for the first time a director will be making a second film in the series. Christopher McQuarrie, who made the fifth film, also directed the sixth installment, Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018).
Based on their entire history, which of the first five M:I directors do you think has had the best career?
