[gallery columns="3"]The Weeknd is keeping his momentum strong as he’s recently delivered a new video to complement the track “False Alarm.” Following up the song and visual for the cut “Starboy” which featured Daft Punk, we’re placed right into the action of a bank heist. Directed by Ilya Naishuller, the same man who delivered Hardcore Henry to the big screen, The Weeknd’s “False Alarm” video is presented completely in a first person’s perspective which creates a heightened sense of drama and anticipation. Kicking things off with a Parental Advisory and Viewer Warning, it’s safe to say that action buffs will hit rewind a few times on this one.

Check out the video above and let us know your thoughts. You can also catch up on The Weeknd’s recent SNL performance here.
