If you have not seen any of the short films, stop reading right now and go watch them. Far from being just a bunch of car commercials, they feature popular directors like Guy Ritchie and Ang Lee, and are really intriguing.
That said, I think "The Follow" is the best of this series, and that says a lot. Directed by Wong Kar-Wai, and starring the impeccably cast Clive Owen, this short film differs from the others in that it mixes action, intelligence, and emotion, rather than simply a car chase.
The character of the Driver (Owen) is developed very well, in my opinion. He is shown to have his own ethics and standards, and is more that just a good driver.
It also features Mickey Rourke and Forest Whitaker in supporting roles.
