"Special Delivery" is an interesting piece, showing Tom Cruise going "undercover" as a Fed Ex delivery man, all while trying not to be noticed in preparation for his character. Why is this only one minute long? There's a measly one deleted scene with a required commentary. If it was left in the film, coming in at just two minutes, it would have neither detracted nor added to the movie. "On Location: Annie's Office" looks at a great action sequence and why and how it was done. Another brief feature, just a little over two minutes.
"Mann Rehearsing Cruise and Fox" are clips of the two actors screen testing intertwined with the final shots. It's an interesting inclusion as very little changed from that small room to the set. You spend a little over four minutes here. "Visual FX" looks at how green screen came into play for the final moments. You could never tell it was effect unless you watch this brief two-minute feature. The disc finishes with the basics, trailers, bios, and production notes. So, take away that documentary and all you have is eleven total minutes. Not really worth it. (***)
There is one major positive to this release. No pan & scan version exists. The film relies far too heavily on weighing its shots and composition, that it would be an utter disaster to see that ruined. You have to love how the back of the case lets you know that no butchered version exists too. Good job Paramount.

I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing this movie is. I was transfixed from the very first panoramic high res shot of the city onward. Tom Cruise? His character is a lethal killer and a true bad ass. Cruise nails it too. I was almost tempted to go out and purchase a silk suit 3 sizes too small.
