So I watched this hilarious movie a few nights ago. It stars Clive Owen, the actor from the BMWFilms series as a trigger happy drifter that gets roped into protecting a newborn baby from organized crime.

The best way to describe it is "over the top" in all categories. The reason I related it to "The Hire" series is because besides obviously having the same actor, there are two pretty good (well, one is awesome) car chase scenes in which he drives both a 740il and a E36 3 series in very much the same manner (except this time he's unloading a ridiculous amount of ammo at the bad guys).

The movie was completely unrealistic to the point of being comical on purpose (end of the E36 car chase scene anyone? I wont ruin it with spoilers), and yet for some reason, I really, really liked it (and not just for the car chase scenes). Anyone else see it? Its available in HD and/or Blu-ray as well, and I believe its a new release. Go check it out!
