Ryan O'Neil is extremely handsome and this movie is handsomely spare. What's more interesting though is the lengths to which America goes to convince itself that cars are a badass thing. Rather than sitting on one's fat ass in traffic, The Driver is all about The Mythical Highway of Freedom.
We need more movies about train robberies -- The Driver is actually brilliantly snide about public transit and getting bothered. What sedentary shit. It's actually horrifying knowing how seductive cars are though. Sinister ideas about freedom and independence start to well up in people as soon as they get behind the wheel; it's like it ages you, turns you into a Republican.
eeeeeeeesh
