I would recommend all three of these Tom Cruise DVD's to any avid film buff or indeed, any avid Cruise follower, even more so, the fact that the three DVDs are available as a Box Set.

The Firm is a superb legal thriller packed with drama from the beginning to the end. Tom Cruise, I think, at his best in this film; perhaps recommended to view The Firm first, before viewing Vanilla Sky or Mi2. A complex plot from the outset keeps the viewer gripped and on Tom's side, forever hopeful that he'll come out on top.
Mi2 or Mission Impossible 2 is again, action-packed but far easier to view for laid-back viewing. The plot itself is made simple and basically served on a 'silver platter' from the beginning, which makes it an easy watch, as opposed to Mission Impossible I, which had a more complex plot. Lots of good action to be had in this film, overall, entertaining and recommended.
With the boxset of three excellent DVDs available from GBP6.98 to GBP19.99, depending on where you shop, I think this represents very good value to keep you entertained for hours.
