You might have noticed that Josh Brolin stars in the inaugural Mercedes-Benz work by London-based agency AMV BBDO. But meanwhile, hiding in the shadow of Mr. No Country is this considerably better spot from the new campaign. Not only does it feature a downright hypnotic voiceover by the relatively unknown Lucy Holt, but I also love that director Joe Roman uses gritty shots of old Vegas instead of taking the obvious route of showing more modern attention-grabbing locales.
