Leave your thoughts about Drive Hard.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzMildly entertaining despite being so inane. |
| Screen InternationalMark AdamsDelivers a goodly amount of good natured action fun but in the end suffers from being just too low-key for its own good. |
| Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckEssentially a chase movie infused with buddy comedy elements, the film is a fast-paced, mildly entertaining lark that’s chiefly enlivened by Cusack’s droll performance. |
| Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreHere’s the sort of scruffy action comedy that suits the post-box office-draw careers of one-time hipster John Cusack and fading action star Thomas Jane. It covers the costs of a fun few weeks of working vacation in Australia and provides a few on-screen laughs along the way. |
| New York PostKyle Smith[It] doesn't exactly work up a sweat devising an interesting plot villains, but the badinage between the odd couple ... makes the time pass painlessly enough. |
| Mark Leeper's ReviewsMark R. Leeperwithout films like this, cable TV would have nothing to show at 2 AM |
| Village VoiceStephanie ZacharekIf you’re not expecting too much, Drive Hard is mindlessly entertaining, but it lacks that spark of madness that might have made it truly fun. At least Cusack is able to shed some of his usual overseriousness. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyIt's no fresher than its title - a long chase movie with Cusack as master thief and Thomas Jane as his reluctant accomplice. |
| Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThe stars' banter is insipid and unfunny, the wacky shocks short out and, most unforgivably, the car chases are a snooze, filmed as a series of stationary close-ups and diced in the editing room until they suggest anything but movement. |
| CinemaBlend.comKristy PuchkoIt's dumb. It's ugly. And yet it's not all bad. |
