Funny and one of the best out of the BMW film series with awesome performances from Oldman and James Brown.

Not necessarily what I'd call a movie, but far more entertaining than most of the 2-hour flicks available at your local Wal-Mart.

I was on board with this ridiculous shit up until the Marilyn Manson part. Absolutely killed it.

James Brown and Gary Oldman, playing the Devil, both act nutty, to hilarious effect. Meanwhile, the calm driver, Clive Owen, watches on, as cold-blooded as ever. Afterwards, we get a crazy drag race on the Vegas strip between Owen/Brown and Danny Trejo/Oldman. Yes, it's as cool as it sounds. Oodles of style, although the events are all simplistic, and I wish there was more of a hook or punchline at the end. Still, it's plenty entertaining.

I'm no Tony Scott fan, but Gary Oldman is a genius. I like the premise, but its a bit over-stylized. Not bad.

If this style was forced into a feature it would have blown to pieces (like Scott did in his latest, whatever the name was). Most fun of BMW cycle other than "Star".
