MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

maxyg18 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.

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews You can almost always rely on John Woo to deliver great action... Face/Off and those of his films that were made before he went Hollywood, especially those featuring Chow Yun-Fat(or so I've heard; have only seen Face/Off myself) are great and popular for his unique brand of cool, stylish action. His use of slow-motion in action sequences are especially popular; here, he delivers as well... but one can't help but think about whether or not Woo(or anyone else, for that matter) actually read the script. There are quite an impressive amount of glaringly obvious plot holes for such a short action flick... but I suppose what we're supposed to pay attention to is the car(this is a commercial, after all) and its capabilities... though I think many of them are exaggerated, at least slightly, in this. The acting isn't particularly good, but Clive Owen is still great as The Driver... not that one would expect anything else from him. The action is pretty cool, that I must admit. And it somehow manages to overshadow the numerous holes in the fairly thin plot. All in all, worth a single watch, for car freaks. But not much more. I recommend it to big fans of Woo and the commercials, as well as car fanatics. 7/10

MovieAddict2016 Those words pretty much start off this nine minute BMW commercial with Clive Owen back as "The Driver."He must race to help a kidnapped victim escape from the trunk of a car with only a cell phone to talk to her.Famed Hong Kong director John Woo made this film, and that's pretty surprising considering it IS basically one long commercial.But I'll be darned if it isn't one of the best commercials I've ever seen.4/5 stars -John Ulmer

Michael Daly 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.
