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".

Worst of the series. Scott goes too much over the top with his style.

All of these "Hire" films are rather good, but this one gets extra points for being extra weird

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.
