"Mission Zero" is an 8-minute live action short film from 2007, so this one has its 10th anniversary this year and there are two really big names attached to this project, namely Kathryn Bigelow who is the director here and made this little film a while before her Oscar win and lead actress Uma Thurman that everybody knows of course from her works with Quentin Tarantino of course. And there were actually a couple moments that felt a bit as if they were taken from "Kill Bill", especially the knife fight sequence at the restaurant. Thurman is driving a car and there are several people out there trying to kill her, maybe at least as many want her dead as in Kill Bill and all this only for a runtime of under 10 minutes. But sadly, eventually it is nothing more really than an overlong tire commercial as this one was ordered by Pirelli and looking at the names working on it they weren't shy of paying a huge sum of money here. The writers are the same names basically who came up with the equally forgettable Pirelli short film "The Call" starring John Malkovich. So yeah, this one here is worth checking out only for those who absolutely adore stuff like the "Fast&Furious" movies. Everybody else can skip it.
