This film contains two enthralling car chases which punctuate both the beginning and end. Hill has done an efficient job in directing these action sequences, capturing the true essence of what it feels like to be inside a car which is speeding down the streets of LA. The rest of the movie is just as good, as Dern closes in on O'Neal and imposes a threatening presence on him and the Player (Isabelle Adjani), a mysterious woman who is attracted by the Driver's dangerous lifestyle.
Both O'Neal and Dern are very good as the antagonists. Overall, The Driver has a gritty feel to it and some nice, suspenseful moments, especially towards the end of the climactic auto chase. The ending has a neat twist, too.
The most enigmatic gangster ever to tear across your screen. You could write O'Neil's script on the back of an ace of spades, but the abscence of verbosity adds incredible depth to the character.
This movie acheives an incredible sense of tension between the mo' money ethic of The Driver, his relationship with the Adjani character and confrontation with the Police.
That with the incredible thrills and spills of this superb chase film and the delicious twist at the end make this a MUST HAVE CLASSIC ! ! ! ! !
