Driver at Lumiere Cinemas
Driver
SUN 15 DEC
Coming Soon to
Lumiere Cinemas
The Driver (Ryan O'Neal) is the best getaway man in the business, and at $10,000 a job – plus 15 percent of the take – the most expensive. On his trail is The Cop (Bruce Dern), who is willing to break any rule in his bid to catch his quarry.
Walter Hill had already proved he was a dab hand with the car chase thriller by writing the screenplay for Peckinpah’s The Getaway in 1972, but while that film was lengthy and somewhat rambling, The Driver is a tight 90 minutes without an ounce of fat on its bones. This was Hill’s second film as director and remains one of the seventies’ most enigmatic thrillers, its tone pitched somewhere between classic noir and French new wave.
