The latest Mission Impossible lived up to the improbably high standards of the series and is definitely worth seeking out on DVD for those who haven’t seen it. But the pick of the week is Shame, a universally lauded drama about a sex-addict and the unexpected arrival of his younger sister. This is the second partnership between director Steve McQueen and Michael Fassbender. Their first project together, Hunger, won McQueen the Caméra d’Or at Cannes… and Shame earned him an NC-17 from America’s squeamish ratings board. (The violence and deaths in Mission Impossible? Yeah, that’s a PG-13.)
The IMF is shut down when it’s implicated in the bombing of the Kremlin, causing Ethan Hunt and his new team to go rogue to clear their organization’s name.
