The Hire

[GamePlayer]

I know we've discussed this topic before, but it occurred to me that not everyone here on Jacurutu who might enjoy The Hire has actually seen it. So what is it? The Hire is a collection of 8 short films created by popular film directors as part of a BMW inspired marketing program. They are essentially long commercials (about 10 minutes each), but shot with studio-level budgets, world-renowned film directors and an assortment of great film stars.

Clive Owen stars as "The Driver" in all 8 films. Each director brings a unique vision to the same subject (a adventurer/professional driver) and approaches the concept in different ways. Some of the films are action. Some are comedy. Others are mystery. Some are tragic. But all of them are worth a look.

I'll post the YouTube videos of each film, since they are easy to find. But there are much better quality versions of these films available for free online. They were designed by BMW strictly as free productions for the express purpose of distribution online, so the original videos are available for free online in much better quality
