The Hire was a series of short "film-commercials" produced by BMW in 2001-2002 They center around "The Driver", a for-hire wheelman played by Clive Owen. The interesting part is that each of the 8 produced shorts was helmed by a well known director, putting their own style on the stories. Despite the fact that they are, infact, commercials, I find them to be quite interesting to watch.

Season One - Executive Producer: David Fincher

Star
Dir: Guy Ritchie
Co-Starring: Madonna

A royal cunt of a popstar needs to get to the venue she's playing tonight. This is why you probably shouldn't be a bitch to someone who's driving you around. Easily the most fun/lighthearted episode of the series.



Ambush
Dir: John Frankenheimer
Co-Starring: Tomas Milian

If he stops, his passenger will die. If he doesn't, they both might. Pretty neat little chase scene. The writer of this one, Andrew Kevin Walker, also wrote Se7en.



Powder Keg
Dir: Alejandro González Iñárritu
Co-Starring: Stellan Skarsgård

A war-time photojournalist has taken some pictures that will explode onto the world, if he can get them out of the country. Probably my favorite of the entire run, this one is really well done.



The Follow
Dir: WKW (Wong Kar-wai)
Co-Starring: Forrest Whitaker, Mickey Rourke, Adriana Lima

The Driver is hired to follow a movie star's wife. Very typical of WKW's style, it moves slowly but fluidly. A far cry from the action of the others, but certainly worth watching.



Chosen
Dir: Ang Lee

A holy child is brought into the country, but he isn't safe. Some really nice automobile choreography in this one, and a cute ending.



Season Two - Executive Producer: Ridley Scott

Ticker
Dir: Joe Carnahan
Co-Starring: Don Cheadle, with: F. Murray Abraham, Ray Liotta, Robert Patrick, Dennis Haysbert

A man with a briefcase can save a man's life, and his country.



Hostage
Dir: John Woo
Co-Starring: Maury Chaykin, Kathryn Morris

A distraught employee has kidnapped his boss, and trapped her somewhere. Full of Woo's trademark action style.



Beat the Devil
Dir: Tony Scott
Co-Starring: Gary Oldman, James Brown, Marilyn Manson, Danny Trejo

James Brown made a deal with the devil, but now he wants out. Surreal, but fun.



That's all of 'em. Hope you enjoy.

one of my friends parents or parents friend i forgot gave me the dvd when the shorts first came out. My favorite is definitely either the don cheadle transporting liver one by the director of NARC or I think the Wang kai wei film about spying on someone's wife. I was hoping they'd make more but they never did

Wong Kar-wai. Yeah, they gave them out at dealerships apparently. It's funny, because they obviously dumped a ton of money into these, then never really advertised them. They just put them up on the internet and spread them by word-of-mouth. The series won numerous awards, and almost no one I know had ever seen them.

Ah, thanks for sharing.
Social Justice is a fools errand. May all the adherents at its church be thwarted. Of all the religions I have come across, it is by far the most detestable.

They don't really interconnect, you can watch them in any order.
