Anyone actually watching the WB (sorry, CW) version of BMW Films’ “The Hire” over at SuzukiFilms.com?

It lacks:


  1. Originality
  2. An interesting concept
  3. Good writing
  4. Good acting
  5. Any reason to pay attention to the SUV the campaign allegedly features
  6. Clive Owen
  7. Buck Owens


At least the site features a comments section — inexplicably labeled “Blog” — full of remarks left by the ad agency responsible for this steaming pile of film. Or HD tape. Whatever.

I’m going to go watch the car chase in “Ronin” (shot by “The Hire’s” first director, John Frankenheimer) to cleanse my palate.

Later,

Fox
