The Driver
The Driver (Walter Hill, 1978)
The Driver is a straightforward crime and car chase action film. While a large portion of the film is car chasing, which I don't care for, there is quite a bit of in-between story in a minimalistic style of filming and acting and that was intriguing. Ryan O'Neal barely has any lines and his swagger makes for a distinct contrast from his nemesis, Bruce Dern, who is a talkative and brash dirty cop. An enjoyable little escape.
