I have seen this movie over and over again. And just like Bullit it is one of those movies that you have to see once a year. The timing and the use of time and pauses and silences are very skillfully used. The casting is good. Silent characters played by Isabelle Adjani and Ryan O'Neill and the real bastard of a cop by Bruce Dern and his unwilling partner. The story is pretty good and works because of the screenplay. I would recommend this to anyone, unless Toy Story really grabs ya.

November 3, 2007This movie is from back in the days, but it is a great movie!! The driving techniques used in the movie are excellent. As well as the action in the movie is good. I loved it!! Out of 10 I give it a 10.
September 22, 2007| |  | Thoughts on "The Driver" film |  |
This film qualifies for the "Film Noir" category.It is well done and has a dark humour about it. Ryan O'Neal and Bruce Dern are perfect foils for each other; both quite laconic and laid back in their attitudes - one (driver) as the hunted and one (cop) as the hunter. The driving sequences are great and much more believable than the "Bullitt" sequences; that were obviously sped up, and the green VW that kept appearing in the shots was irritating. It has a nice twist at the end = work out how the money disappeared!
August 6, 2007This movie would have to rate as one of the all time great American car chase movies. In my opion it rates along side as such great movies as Vanishing Point and Gone in 60 Seconds( The original version).Great driving stunts.
