Plot
The Driver drag-races the Devil, in order to earn James Brown his soul.
Sinekatalog’s take
A slick promotional short that stages a drag race between a driver and Satan, with a soul-singer's fate on the line. It is mostly style: fast cuts, roaring engines and a cheeky tone. A quick, glossy blast for fans of car-culture spectacle.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
