7/10
I watched two films in the lineage of 2011's Drive, this being the first. It features an unnamed getaway driver (Ryan O'Neal, adequate) on the run from an obsessed detective (Bruce Dern, awful) and getting tangled up with "The Player" (Isabelle Adjani, mysterious as ever). It's not bad for a 70's curio but I didn't get obsessed with it like I did with Two-Lane Blacktop or Vanishing Point, both of the same ilk. Quentin Tarantino calls it one of the coolest movies ever made but to me it was that exact "coolness" of the aforementioned two movies that was either lacking, or felt too forced in this case.
