A bit of an overlooked gem in its day, Walter Hill's The Driver has since gone on to be one of the more influential crime/noir films of its era. It has an odd feeling of timelessness that only Hill could pull off in those days that makes it feel like it belongs in another era. There isn't really another film quite like it.
That said, it isn't the most fast-paced movie you'll ever watch, but it is beloved for a reason. Check out the episode above to hear why that is. It might be a cliché to say they don't make them like this anymore, but they really do not.
Please excuse our confusion throughout this episode. We weren't on our A-game when we recorded it. As such out ratings aren't as high as we felt comfortable with at the time. We were just not in the right frame of mind, though we were fair to the film regardless.
Randy's Score: 3/5
JD's Score: 4/5
Up Next: Hellbound!
