7.3 | en | Action

The Driver is hired by a nervous movie manager to spy on a paranoid actor's wife. During his tailing of the wife, the Driver describes the right way to tail someone. As he follows her he begins to fear what he might learn of her apparently tragic life. He discovers the wife is fleeing the country and returning to her mother's, and that she's been given a black eye, likely by her husband. He returns the money for the job, refusing to tell where the wife is, and drives off telling the manager never to call him again.

Reviews

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews This one has fairly little action(no, that's not true... it has no action whatsoever) and not much driving, but the interesting cinematography, good direction, well-written plot and good acting by all actors involved make it worth watching. The direction(and probably the cinematography as well) can be credited to the director, Kar Wai Wong, who does a pretty good job on telling an interesting story in a fairly short period of time. The voice-overs by Clive Owen were a very nice touch, and made the sequences of him following the wife more interesting. The well-written plot can, again, be credited to the talented writer, Andrew Kevin Walker, who is probably most well-known for writing David Fincher's Se7en. As for the acting; Clive Owen turns in yet another very good performance as The Driver, Mickey Rourke does a very good job as the husband and even Adriana Lima(who is a model, not an actress) gives a believable performance, as the wife(although arguably she doesn't have to do very much in the role). The uncredited Forest Whitaker also gives a great performance, as always. The film is thoroughly interesting, maybe mainly because of the directors(apparently trademark... I wouldn't know, I haven't seen any other films by him) non-linear method of storytelling. All in all, less driving than the others, but not bad... just a little less than what it could have been. Worth watching for fans of the commercials and possibly of the director. 7/10

luddite-1 This was a fantastic cinematic experience. Everything in this film, every line, every move, it all means something. Kar-wai Wong shows himself to be master here, and Clive Owen shows just how effortless great acting appears. Why isn't this man Bond?

shervyn I am not sure what the one thing is that attracts me so much to this film. The pacing, the montage, the editing. Whatever it is, I found myself drawn to it from the first 30 seconds. I found myself watching the opening over and over again.

ghettoracer excellent monologue, beautifully filmed, with great music. short and a perfect 10 from me. just flawless.i wish i can write more eloquently about it. wkw manages to develop the characters quite well and the story is complete. the other films are pretty good, but everyone else seems to agree this one stands out.
