Simply A Masterpiece

Pretty Good

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The Plot: Clive Owen ( before he was in "The Bourne Identity," "King Arthur," "Elisabeth: The Golden Age," and "Sin CIty" ) plays a "hire" who drives people places they desperately need to go. Often times, they are working for something "top secret" and can only give our protagonist limited information. Also, this is meant to show off the BMW car and is executive-produced by Tony Scott, Ridley Scott and David Fincher ( Panic Room, Alien 3 ).Directed by John Woo ( The Killer, Hard Boiled and other violent HK films ), this tale involves our hero in some intense exchange that that involves twists and turns. I can't say anything without giving it way nor do I remember it as well as I possibly could so just watch it for what it's worth.

Clive Owen plays as a driver who has only a short limit of time to rescue a girl trapped inside the boot of a car at the water's edge and is only able to communicate with her by using his mobile phone. This is possibly the longest ad I've ever seen and is also directed by the fantastic John Woo. HOSTAGE (2002) been given 4/10 because it's not really that thrilling or action packed and has unfortunately very little of John Woo's directing style. Although it's an ad, Clive Owen does give a pretty good performance.This ad is not recommended, especially for the people who are fans of Woo.

This short has probably the best car from the series in it. Of course that is personally so let's talk about the movie. Again it is pretty good. So far no short from the series has disappointed me. In this one a girl is held hostage and The Driver visits the guy who holds her. She is not there and the guy kills himself, now it is a race to the clock.Very exciting and it looks beautiful.

BMW began a very clever ad campaign in 2002 with BMW Films, making short action-oriented films revolving around a mysterious BMW driver (Clive Owen) tasked with bizarre errands. Among BMW Films' early efforts is this quick drama directed by John Woo.Known only as The Driver, he is tasked with paying a $5 million ransom to a former burger-chain executive who has kidnapped the firm's beautiful chief executive. The perp has a cellular phone link to his victim, and forces The Driver to write down the exact amount of the ransom - leaving a cryptic clue to the woman's location before the FBI bursts in and the perp kills himself. Now The Driver must roar through LA, pursued by local cops, to find the hostage before she perishes.
