Leave your thoughts about The Driver.
| CineVueCraig WilliamsThe Driver is a film of types and trends; a cinematic expression of our basest narrative impulses. Directed with remarkable economy, the seasoned Hill keeps everything as tight as possible. |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyA terrific neo-noir that was sadly dumped by its studio in the summer of 1978. Filled with exciting car chases and cynical, hard-boiled exchanges. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseHill has remained a steadily stylish presence in the idiom of action cinema. His genres of concern tend to be the Western and the urban crime drama, and the twain meet in neo-noir The Driver. [Blu-ray] |
| Parallax ViewRichard T. JamesonEven a claustrophobic vision is preferable to none at all, and I want to like Hill's movies. But The Driver is almost impossible to travel with. |
| Slant MagazineGlenn Heath Jr.A visceral symphony of screeching tires and crushing metal. |
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonBruce Dern, merely one of the best actors of the 1970s, is in his element here as an arrogant cop with a Cheshire-cat grin. |
| NewsweekDavid AnsenAll of this could have been nice and juicy if Walter Hill had done a few more things with his screenplay, such as made the characters into people. |
| EmpireWilliam ThomasA fair-to-middling auto-noir with a hole in the middle roughly the size of its leading man’s head. |
| Senses of CinemaJohn EdmondThe peak of [Hill]'s austere stylised purifications of Hollywood genres. |
| Hollywood ReporterArthur KnightWhile we can readily identify these characters, we can't identify with them simply because Hill never bothers to tell us what makes them tick. |
