Chosen (2001)
4/10
Only one great scene

This is a 6-minute short film from 2001 and it is also part of the BMW promo short movie collection. The director here is 2-time Academy Award winner Ang Lee and fittingly there is also an Asian touch to this film. The script comes from David Carter, who wrote several of these shorts. Unfortunately, I was not too impressed by this one here. This may have to do with my general lack of interest in speed or cars. The only scene I liked was the one with the fake monk, the whole car chase thingey before that did not do too much for me and same goes for the Hulk reference at the end. And why wouldn't the child duck down in the car with the permanent shooting going on. Still, I have to say that my negative rating is not because there is a lack of stars in here compared to the one that has Gary Oldman, James Brown, Danny Trejo and Marylin Manson for example. This one is equally forgettable. It's all about the script really and "Chosen" is not a grand achievement in terms of that. So, all in all, not recommended.
