In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is not as good as the first series as the second series is directed by Ridley and the late Tony Scott brothers. As it returns Clive Owen as the Driver. As he must help the feds track down a kidnapped woman in a car. Only linked by her cellphone in the trunk.While the feds get the kidnapper, he is the one that has to do all of the dirty work in tracking her down. Despite cops going after him. He manages to track her down before she drowns. And as the kidnapper is in a coma about to die, after he shot himself in the head while being nabbed by the feds.Still not as good as in the first series. But you have to love that car afterwards a Z Roadster!

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.

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.
