There are colorful characters with interlocking stories, unlikely winners and incredible comebacks in this swaggering, razor sharp, fourth-wall-breaking, stylized 4-minute mini-movie.

It looks like a Guy Ritchie flick, without all the violence and viscera.

In fact, it is a Guy Ritchie creation, but also a commercial for Beats by Dre, which turns out to be a marriage made in punter heaven as the director of hits like Snatch and RocknRolla (try to forget Swept Away) puts his signature spin on the brand’s recently launched “Made Defiant” campaign.

Added bonus: The pitch-perfect narrator is Paul Anderson of Peaky Blinders fame.
