This slick, action-packed film for BMW has been stylishly directed by former stunt coordinator Sam Hargrave with a maniacal devotion to the aesthetic of violence. Along the way, it crams in a lot of extraordinary claims about the futuristic vehicle it (kind of) advertises, but the lowering of the lines between reality and fantasy leaves DAVID unsure whether these are existing features or wishful aspirations. French actor Pom Klementieff's character is being attacked from all sides as she journeys to Cannes , presumably for the Premier of this short film. Not only is she attacked by the driver of her car (Nathaniel Perry), she has to see off a quartet of men on motorcycles who are either trying to hand her a box of Milk Tray, or wish to kidnap her. Having inevitably prevailed in a series of neatly choreographed fight scenes, our heroine finds herself in a hotel room with a mysterious figure played by Uma Thurman, who engages her in a brief cryptic conversation. Style has given substance a similar drubbing to the one handed out by Klementieff to the hapless men trying to thwart her progress, but Hargrave's firm handling of the action will probably ensure that this flaw is largely overlooked.
