Dave S 03/11/2023 After watching Drive, He Said, you've got to feel grateful that Jack Nicholson chose to continue his career in acting instead of directing. Centered around two roommates at a Washington university, one a hyperactive radical and the other an unmotivated basketball star, Drive, He Said is probably the dullest film about revolution and the counter-culture that's ever graced the silver screen. The story is directionless, the dialogue is often embarrassing, the acting is ridiculous, and the editing is erratic, which can't come as a surprise since there are four editors listed in the credits. Bruce Dern does a decent job as the exasperated basketball coach and it's fun to look for a young Cindy Williams wandering around in the background, but, overall, there really isn't much to see here.

If we don't go to war what is there to do professionally? To some maybe this is strictly a survival trip This was an oddity I'll admit but Nicholson still gets across the drawn cynicism of college life using basketball as an outlet This is for better or worse the world these characters as well as we inhabit Not only does the movie poke fun at college but the system itself and matrimony For a directorial debut Nicholson makes it viewable if not grand in the scheme of things See more 11/07/2018 This film was very bad. See more 09/01/2015 This movie had a few ups and downs but is generally a storytelling and editing wreck. There is not a whole lot going for it. While there are interesting moments, including some guerrilla film-making as Jack Nicholson managed to find a campus riot to film and edit into the story. See more 05/20/2015 Very dated anti establishment sort of drama. More of an antique than something made in the 30's. The lead actor has the magnetism of a lemming and it hurts an already weak film.
