Plot: Soldiers patrol fields and rural villages. Their mission: Find a photojournalist who has snapped a picture certain to unite the world against their leader. Alejandro González Iñárritu directs Clive Owen as the photographer's driver and sole hope of getting him and his film beyond the strongly guarded border. This is the most violent short film of the bunch. Gritty and raw, the action and filming method adds an enhanced sense of realism. Like certain scenes in the film Traffic, there's almost a documentary style look to this film. All of this, and the BMW X5 takes an absolute beating. Excellent film. LESS
