I purchased Mission: Impossible and Contraband and i have to say that if you like action-thriller movies you have to see them because they are awesome.

I loved Shame but of the 2/3 I haven’t seen I more eager to catch Ghost Protocol. Heard it’s nothing but awesome. Contraband would probably more of a lazy weekend rental but I still want to see it too.

I bought them both myself and was pleasantly surprised by Contraband. I saw Ghost Protocol in the theater, which was why I purchased that one to watch again. The extras were actually quite good as well. It’s breathtaking when you realize Tom Cruise was actually hanging from the top of the building, doing his own stunts. MI: GP is definitely one action flick you should have in your collection.
