Storming down a serpentine road in his fast 2002 BMW E85 Z4, the unequalled Driver and his secretive passenger, carrying a leather briefcase cuffed to his wrist, are desperately trying to evade the incessant attacks of a military helicopter. However, while risking life and limb, the Driver refuses to be in the dark any longer. Now, all he needs to know is whether his mission can help preserve peace. —Nick Riganas

8/10

Strikingly Good Entry By BMW Films

This is among the best of BMW Films to date, a charged and emotional action short revolving around a mysterious suitcase. The Driver and the man who holds the suitcase are being chased by a helicopter whose passengers fire incessently to stop the delivery, and The Driver demands to know why it is so important that this suitcase be delivered. He gets his answer when blood drips from the package, and when he arrives at the delivery point, and sees an army, both a literal one and one of doctors.
