Review
The Driver is a stylish, detached and antisocial tribute to
driving for the sake of driving and crime for the sake of crime,
made at a time when those things still had a palpable meaning for
most big-city Americans. The writer/director is Walter Hill, penner
of the not too dissimilar cult film
The Getaway
a few years earlier. And although he made more successful
films later on (notably
48 Hrs.), The Driver is
arguably among his most gutsy and hard-hitting. It's worth a watch for the
fervour it represents and instils, if nothing else.
