Pierce Brosnan stars in this Super Bowl car porn spot for the Kia Sorento. In it, the typical smarmy agent tries to sell him on a "big part," but everything Pierce suggests will be in the film turns out to be wrong. No missiles. No exploding houses. No high-speed chases. But there is a girl, and he gets to keep the car. It's not quite as navel-gazing as say, Samsung's 2013 Super Bowl spot, as it's making fun of Hollywood as much as advertising. It's more done with tongue firmly in cheek. On the plus side, it also features some great cinematography. As a Super Bowl spot though I think it belongs in the "We got (X celebrity) for our spot) execution, and that's kind of it. Likable and inoffensive.
