Hitting the pavement with an empty tank of inspiration, Drive Hard goes through its action beats in fits and starts before puttering out completely.

The experience is like watching an unprepared teenager fake his way through different classes at once: briefly fascinating, mostly idiotic. Go to Full Review Tirdad Derakhshani Philadelphia Inquirer 10/03/2014
1/4
You know there's something fundamentally wrong with Drive Hard less than five seconds in: It opens on a shot of star Thomas Jane sporting an absurd mop of a hairdo that might have been borrowed from a Raggedy Ann doll. Go to Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 10/02/2014
Does a lot of revving in order to juice its jokey, violent bad-boy cred, but it never gets out of the driveway. Go to Full Review Susan Granger SSG Syndicate 10/07/2014
2/10
Very disappointing potboiler that runs out of gas far too quickly. Go to Full Review Mark Adams Screen International 10/05/2014
Delivers a goodly amount of good natured action fun but in the end suffers from being just too low-key for its own good. Go to Full Review Drew Taylor The Playlist 10/03/2014

"Drive Hard" is just a bore, barely registering as a movie, which is a shame, because with the oddball cast and somewhat notable director, it could have been fun and trashy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s @Thiagostone Oct 14 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more 05/03/2021 A great way to spend a lazy Sunday afternoon. Always great 2 see these 2. See more 04/03/2020 An Australian film of terrible accents. John Cusack causes havoc in Gold Coast and bonds with a retired Race car Driver. Some laughs and quite a bit of gun powder and speed driving. See more 10/09/2019 Unwatchable. Painful. Gah. See more 07/10/2018 Low budget "buddy" movie filmed entirely on, and blatantly for, Gold Coast Australia tourism industry advertisement, featuring Surfers Paradise and Hinterland scenery to add to your Gold Coast holiday memorabilia. Mild violence, police chases, gangsters, bikey-gang for light entertainment. See more 06/10/2017 The jokey tone fails due to an awkward script that isn't as funny as it thinks it is with an awkward mix of swearing and cartoonish characters. See more Read all reviews
