THE DRIVER (2019)
QUALITY = NOBODY CARED
JOY = NOBODY HAD FUN, EXCEPT MAYBE MARK
94 minutes of movie plus some minutes of credits, and the movie is still a slow burn with too many moments dragging.
Mark Dacascos narrates in a young
Clint Eastwood tone, either dumping too much info we don't need, or tell us things we already know.
Every other actor is recorded like this is a cheaply made low budget amateurish 90s - early 2000s film.
Some shots are made as if they filmed this stuff for a BMW advertisement, and just included it here, even the musical notes fit a car advertisement.
If you watched the 1978
Walter Hill movie with the same name then be happy, you watched a good movie. This is not a remake of that movie, and it's just some dumb mess.
There is a shelter town,
Mark's character is a driver, and he drives law breakers to be eaten by zombies. His partner in execution started a revolution destroying the town and inviting zombies into it cause.... he wasn't allowed to drive
Mark's car, those are his exact words.
And then it turns to a father & daughter road trip movie.
Here are alternatives if you want to watch better movies with some themes from this:
- Logan
- Train to Busan
- The Girl with All the Gifts
- The Driver (1978)
- The Transporter (only the first 2002 movie. It might not be good, but at least it functions as a watchable fun movie)
If you read my post and might think this is potentially a so bad it's good kind of film... I will repeat my point about this movie dragging needlessly and the awful narration and voice recording, and tell you it's not worth your time.
