Nice. But doesn't quite stack up against the competition.

I love this ad. It's one of the few that made me get up off the couch and go to the computer to find out who made it.

I don't quite understands why when Jameson meets with the giant octopuss his first reaction is to push the barrel to the bottom and save his life and then he reaperas like a great hero. If the barrel was so important why he didnt fight the octopuss from the very beggining.

lol this is awesome... too many (most) drink ads take themselves way to seriously. This is pure whiskey pub talk

cheers,

no idea. just lots of dough and a good advertising director that really wants to direct a movie.

fantastic spot. this is the kind of spot that got me into advertising. not reliant on technique to be cool. just good storytelling. wish i'd done it.

Very good! Story telling. The nay sayer should learn what that means. Entertain people.

Wow! What a great story! Feels like the beginning to a crazy mystery movie. Very well shot, nicely decorated... this is 10/10 to me, no matter what you say.
