"If
I drive for you, you give me a time and a place. I give you a
five-minute window, anything happens in that five minutes and I'm
yours no matter what. I don't sit in while you're running it down; I
don't carry a gun... I drive." That is a quote from the 2011 film
Drive starring Ryan Gosling and it could also be the tag-line for
this 1978 film Driver starring Ryan Oneal. When Koko told me about
this movie she said that Drive was a remake of Driver and I said it
wasn't because the book for Drive was written fairly recently.
Turns
out that Drive just borrowed heavily from Driver.
Each
film features a guy that drives getaway cars, say they don't carry
guns, don't have names, and they will leave you if you are late
during the job. Other than that...they are different. This movie has
far more action for one as well as cast that the driver interacts
with. A cop called Detective is played by Bruce Dern is obsessed with
catching him in the act. This was a cool movie and I think only the
second with Oneal I've ever seen.
