Remember about 15 years ago when BMW released a series of short films highlighting a mysterious driver that did awesome stuff, like make Madonna whiz her shorts in the back seat? Well he’s back and he’s still being played by Clive Owen as BMW has rekindled the film series with this new one called The Escape. Yes, the hero vehicle is a new 2017 BMW 5 Series which is no big shock because after all, what was BMW going to do, put a Dodge in the movie? Actually they did that and most of them get shot up and wrecked but that is beside the point.
We’ll not give the plot away but it is definitely pretty awesome and Owen is fantastic as the driver who says little but is a complete bad ass. The budget was definitely huge for this project and you’ll notice that about three seconds in.
This is 13 minutes long and we thought it was pretty awesome. The chase is great, the plot is creepy, and the hero is one of the coolest drivers in movie history.
“Get out of the car…”
Curious that the boat at the end was painted in dazzle camo.
Pretty good for a short film. Great chase scene.
BMW made a bunch of these films back in 2001. They are available on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6528B2FAD612803B
