Reviews
By the end of The Driver you might wonder if you were in a car accident.
A terrific neo-noir that was sadly dumped by its studio in the summer of 1978. Filled with exciting car chases and cynical, hard-boiled exchanges.
An all-time great action movie. Hill's existential musings are made palpable with the soulful performances by O'Neal and Adjani.
