Beat the Devil is another outstanding effort by BMW Films. Directed by Tony Scott, this stylish 9 minute piece is a fantastic addition to "The Hire".
The story goes that a young James Brown sold his soul to the devil, in exchange for great preforming talent, but now Mr Brown wants to renegotiate and he brings the Driver into the plan, drag at The Strip in Las Vegas. Gary Oldman is terrific as the Devil, his loud and crazy, and everything Clive Owen's character is not. Owen's performance is just as good as all the other BMW films, plus there is a cameo by Marylin Manson.
I highly recommend Beat the Devil, and all of BMW's "The Hire" series. 9/10 stars!
