Safecracker Zed meets his junkie friend after 11 years to rob a bank.Now here is a DVD with special features that gave me something more to rave about than the film itself...well at least it held me appreciate the production of the film One should read the production notes and then this otherwise DVD that I would not purchase had I seen the movie before but now glad I did since I have the notes.
- DirectorCameron CroweStarsTom CruisePenélope CruzCameron DiazA self-indulgent and vain publishing magnate finds his privileged life upended after a vehicular accident with a resentful lover.In the special features I learned the movie is an remake of an earlier film by Alejandro Amenabar & Mateo Gil. Yet the film is so well done its Hitchcockian in its failure to resolve all issues. Listening to the special features one learns also that the project was a labor of love. The director sits with his wife? girlfriend? who wrote some of the music and they go back and forth while she again creates little diddies while he narrates. The special features serves up enough to send me around and watch Vanilla Sky again. Not so much as to look for clues as but to experience Cruise at one of his finest performaces.

This two disk set surpasess any Blu-Ray to come because the packaging alone will not be surpassed. Not now as we enter an era of less tactile and more visuals. Then thereto the contents of disk two is more suitable for the student of film than the caual observer. This is one woth listening to while you are engrossed in looking at art from the 20th century...there is much cross-reference to psycology, loniness, special effects and the mind of Matin Scorsese.
