Alright, My Peeps…
…How Many Of Y’all Honestly Knew This Flick…
“THE DRIVER“
…Even Existed?!
One.
Two.
Three.
Hmm.
Not Too Many Of Y’all.
M’Kay.
That’s What I Figured.
So I’m Guessing It (likely) Doesn’t Shock You That The Same Flick Was Made 30+ Years Prior To The 2011 Fan-Fave…
…Only Made BETTER?!
Well…
…Ya Know…
…That’s Why I’m Here.
I’m Here To Educate, My Peeps.

“THE DRIVER“
…Stars…
RYAN O’NEAL
(in the best on-screen role of his career, without question)
…As…
“THE DRIVER“
…And…
BRUCE DERN
(in one of his best roles, also)
…As…
“THE DETECTIVE“
…AND…
…It Was Written And Directed By…
WALTER HILL

Now, I’ll Be Blunt, My Peeps…
…We Are Talkin’…
…BALLZ To Da WALLZ…
…HIGH-OCTANE…
…SUPER-DUPER-FAST…
…WHITE-KNUCKLE…
…ACTION-ACTION-ACTION.
Period.
You Think You’ve Seen Amazing Car-Chases?!
You Haven’t Seen Anything, My Peeps!!
“THE DRIVER“
…Makes…
“DRIVE“
…Look Like…
…Well…
“DRIVE“
…Only…
“THE DRIVER“
…Is BETTER!!!
π
“THE DRIVER“
…Is…
AMAZINGLY AWESOME AWESOME!!!
π
I Love A Good Crime-Drama…
…Especially 1970s Crime-Dramas…
…And…
“THE DRIVER“
…Is One Of The Very VERY Best!!!
Tough.
Gritty.
Relentless.
It’s A Helluva Fun Flick All The Way Around!
So What’s Gonna Happen?
Will “THE DRIVER” Make His Getaway?!
…Or…
Will “THE DETECTIVE” Nab His Criminal?!
I’m Afraid You’re Just Going To Have To Watch And See, My Peeps!!
What I Will Tell You Is This…
…Either Way It Goes…
…You’ll Have Plenty Of Fun Finding Out!!!
Fo SHO, My Peeps!!!
Fo SHO, INDEED!!!
I’d Tell You More…
…I Mean…
…I’d Like To…
…But I’m Trying To Watch It As We Speak!!!
Guess You Could Say I Needed A Quick Pick-Me-Up…
…Ya Know…
…A Regular Jolt Of Energy.
“THE DRIVER“
…Does Exactly That!!!
I’ll Holla At Y’all More After It’s Over.
Of That, You Can Feel Assured.

I’ll Admit This To You, Ty, There’s ONE THING That “Drive” Has That “The Driver” Doesn’t… ALBERT BROOKS. I Still Say Al Should Have Won An Oscar For That Role. That’s The ONE THING Better About “Drive”. Period.
Otherwise, I’ll Take “The Driver” Any Day π

Brooks was great, but its all about Gosling. Was never a huge fan of his until Drive.
