The Driver now carries an arrogant rock star who is visiting a major city (not Pittsburgh as earlier believed). Played by Madonna, this title character wants to get away from her bodyguards in the Driver's BMW. He soon gets tired of her and decides to have a bit of fun.

Guy Ritchie is surely one of the most visually and aurally creative directors. Even "Snatch" alone makes a strong point for this case, and "Star" adds even more to it. With just a BMW and a classic song (as well as an extract from another great piece), Ritchie makes one heck of a funny ride that's well worth taking for its entire 6 minutes. Then, when its over, you'll want to take it again.However, it is not just the frenetic car chase, as with his previous films the plot here (yes, plot, in a music video/advertisement) is also amusing with that Ritchie touch of unexpected cahoots and twists. This is easily the funnest (and funniest) of all the BMW short films. --- 10/10
For any Guy Richie fan it's a must, or for anyone looking for a fun breathtaking ride that is funny.. and makes you want a BMW. Wonderfully executed, it's a triumph of a short film!!!! Congrats to BMW for getting such talent together and sharing for free! 8/10
Guy Ritchie yet again demonstrates his ability to tell the whole story in the minimum number of frames. All the BMW films are worth the download time, but STAR is definitely the pick of the crop. Clive Owen is a fine dramatic actor (I really enjoyed his performance in Croupier); now he gets the chance to do comedy - and he does it very well. Considering that he spends the entire film sat in a car he does a great performance with his eyes alone. The script is very funny, the editing sharp to a frame, and Madonna demonstrates that being a pop diva doesn't mean that you can't laugh at yourself.Why are you reading this when you could be downloading it?
Have not had so much fun in less than 7 minutes...Wondering that Madonna accepted to participate in this movie...But great and surprising...Tien
