CGiii Comment
A stylish MTV amphetamine rush - where every trick in the book is used.
The split screen, the time-lapse, jump edits all work here - simply because this is a long music promo - and, it manages to keep the interest and energy going until the end.
It's fast and hugely enjoyable but don't expect any deep message - there is none.
Just an action flick that is way above the usual fodder.
