      Audience Member I really good one right here thank you I like it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas April 23, 2023 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Who doesn't love a good chase film... Well the bmw driver films have it all no more then 10 to 15 minutes longs the pack a hell of a punch great little movies Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member What was this one about? Totally awful. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This is another one of the BMWFILMS.com shorts that comes under the title of the Hire. Clive Owen is a chauffeur for a man who is carrying diamonds. And as per the titled they are Ambushed more like attempted car jacked. Of all the BMW films so far this is the worst one. Lots of action and stunts, but still only worth 2 1/2 stars. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I expect a lot from a John Frankenheimer car-chase film, even if it is a short... some of it looked fake: cars run at slow speed and the film sped up (but so did Ronin)... still not bad and the (possibly unintentional) Vanishing Point-tribute at the end was nice Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent in concept and opens beautifully with a spooky air of hard-edged danger, this episode of "The Hire" only falls short in the second half which features some surprisingly uninspired vehicle chase and action sequences. Owen, as always, is good value, but this short film runs out of steam despite its fabulous start. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
