I thought it was ironic that a commercial for BMW should sentimentally discuss the cynicism of war photography's not helping anyone and only being good for pushing papers.

the premise of this movie is stupid. As if the UN would even care about someone wounded by terrorists let alone try a rescue! the film was set to dissapoint and it did

The best car commercial ever. Great acting and cinematography with a political message. It's a shame there's no real context and the end has sentimental music designed to tug at the heart strings.

Continuing in the tradition of these "Hire" shorts of being pretty goddamn good for automobile advertisements

Very impressive film for an advertisement short. I don't think I've ever seen such incredible acting to sell a product, or such a powerful message either.

Not bad for an advertisement, but that's still all it is.
