Mission: Impossible Lost Its 2 Best Tom Cruise Replacements

The serial has become an exercise in one - upmanship as Cruise put out to top the stunts that came before . Even if the producers could line up an thespian unforced to push themselves as far as Cruise in the stunts , they might not have Cruise ’s star tycoon .
