I'm sorry, but having a 53 year-old man hijacking the car -- especially one who looks as content and well-fed as the one in this video does -- doesn't fit the premise of the song. Also, the camera work is not artistic enough: it needs to be full of close-up, quick focuses on faces and specific gestures, rather than long takes of one scene at a time.
Also, when you do lots of quick shots, there need to be lots of dramatic, slow-motion action WITHIN those quick shots. The choice of camera work is boring and lacks drama, and the acting of the hijacker is a bit overstated. The making of the effort is good and deserves points for courage, but it could be re-done in a much more effective and interesting way.
No problem. Mind you, I'm trying to be cruel here... because I'm taking pains to give constructive specifics. Cruel people don't do that. Anyhow, all you have to do is pay close attention to what's specifically being done in the videos that you do like, and that tells you how it should be done.
Stop trahing this video. I am in it

The lyrics say "I'm a poor BOY". Please tell me how this fifty-something man qualifies as a "boy"...
