Ambush (2001)

Director: John Frankenheimer
Cast: Clive Owen, Tomas Milian, Franklin Dennis Jones
Everything that a short action film should be--a gut-wrenching chase sequence built around a well-balanced narrative structure and callous disregard for bystanders. More than just a promo for BMW, although it does make the car look pretty tough. A number of scenes where the Driver is shown pushing in both brake and clutch. Cool stuff.
