Maybe the Best Live-Action, First-Person Shooter Sequence Ever

Take five minutes and watch the video I’ve embedded after the jump. It’s insane. I could compare it to watching an expert player on a next-next-next-gen console, or a moment from some Crank sequel in which we see everything literally through Jason Statham’s eyes. There’s parkour, teleportation, Jackie Chan-style leaping up and through narrow openings, insane jumps and more. Ownage.
If Russian director Ilya Naishuller doesn’t have Hollywood calling on him after this, I’ll be surprised.
Meanwhile, in tinseltown, Tom Cruise is doing a Man from UNCLE movie with Guy Ritchie. Yawn. Watch Ilya’s video and tell me what you’d rather see…
