Movie Reviews of The Driver
Movie Review: Slow Ride
Summary: 3 Stars
The basic premise of "The Driver" reminded me alot of "Heat" where a stoic master criminal faces off against a passionately determined cop. The similarities end there. That's not to say that Bruce Dern's energetic cop was not an engaging character but there is no discernible chemistry between himself and Ryan O'Neal's taciturn driver. Dern may as well be acting with a crash test dummy. The only time that O'Neal seems to be really engaged here is in the film's car chase scenes. Another irritant was the film's characters don't have real names(i.e "the Driver", "the Detective", "the Player", etc.). Director-screenwriter Walter Hill may think this is profound but it smacks more to me as pretentious. The film can be recommended solely for it's car chase sequences as opposed to it's middling story.
