I watched The Last Enemy a few months ago and found the ending quite bleak. (and felt rather closed in as I watched) I did love how Carlyle managed to convey menace without even any dialog - though I must admit I ended up not sure of what he wanted in all of it, though that's an issue writing not in acting.
As for the Johnnie Walker video - it is quite awesome. Even though it took two days for them to get a flawless take it was still one camera continuously rolling as he talked which means he had to get the whole thing completely right from beginning to end. I posted about it back in December when I first watched it: a picspam, some facts, and excerpts from an interview with the director. It turns out their biggest problem was that one of the props was in the wrong place and was screwing up his timing. As soon as they fixed it he did it perfectly.
