The Driver (Ryan O’Neal) is the best “wheel man” for hire. His work in driving getaway cars are exhibitions in excellence, works of art. The Detective (Bruce Dern) is the top cop of the force. Nobody he tracks down ever eludes him. Except the Driver. As the Driver pulls off another job, the Detective lays in wait for him. But the Driver has already planted his alibi and is one step ahead of him. (StudioCanal UK)

As soon as the car door closes and the footsteps on the gas, it comes very close to getting the full five stars. However, as soon as they put the cars in the garage and the movie begins playing at a silent, “who can piss further" crime movie about a clash between two macho guys, so it is painfully obvious that they should have cast someone completely different from the O'Neal/Dern duo. A strong, silent type for whom the taciturn role would have seemed natural and not just like they forgot their lines.
