I had read so many raves for Drive that
I expected something great, but here’s what I got instead: a standard-issue
noir anti-hero from the Stark-Parker Division; a standard-issue noir plot made
not much fresher by its chronologically jumbled narration; enjoyable tangets
into the world of Hollywood stunt-driving; and a shout-out to Jorge Luis
Borges. In sum, a disappointment. Grade: C+
Don't know how Sallis got his reputation. He is so bad it is unreal.
