The Driver

Average movie, story, acting. Nothing outstanding, however, I did feel for the daughter. Watchable if nothing else available.

This is the second movie of 2, but the release dates don't match that. The first one is called "Paradise Z" or Dead Earth or Two of us. I actually enjoyed both movies, but this one more. They are not great movies, totally low budget and it shows. But I did really enjoy them. If you don't want to watch a low budget movie, this is definitely not for you. I watch lots of them as I watch more zombie movies then most people have any idea there are. So this will be more my speed then most peoples.

This could have been so much more.

The whole zombie apocalypse theme has been over used in so many Fims now. This could have taken it to a new place but no.

The acting is mediocre at best which is surprising given the main leads.

The action doesn't really start until your 40 minutes in then your lead to believe it's going to pick up the pace and become an action packed, road rage fuelled thriller/horror, but no! It meanders along and then fizzled out like a car with an empty tank.

If I had paid full price I would have been even more upset but for £1.99 GBP it was a road trip like any other.

Dialogue must've been written by a five-year-old... they clearly also made the set and props. It's a disaster. It's boring. It's delivered by robots. Camera is oddly constantly doing closeups of MC's chin, ears, and the wife's spider mascara lashes. There's no reason for the catalyst to the MCs moving.... like the "bad guys" break in to the homemade fort to just let the zombies run amuck, not steal or takeover... just so they can all be ate by said zombies. Nonsense.

Sometime you have to endure such a horrible movie just to realize how good other movies are. I'm not sure if to applaud the director for filming this in under 2 weeks and under $1M or to scold him for creating such a stinker of garbage.

This movie is bad start to finish, and I mean BAD. Where to start? camera action- insulting, zombie makeup - horrible, zombie acting and movement - laughable. Action scene - lets say even the guns don't look real. Dialog - cringey at best. Setup and scenery - ridiculous. Mark Dacascos is not a bad actor but with the editing and bad dialogue there is not much you can do.

Adding insult to injury is the horrible story line, it is down-right boring. I had to stop myself many times from giving up watching just based on boredom alone. Oh yes, and if you call a movie "the driver" can you have him drive faster than 40 MPH at some point? That car was so out-of-place it looked like it was picked up for the weekend for some local car dealership, maybe they didn't have insurance on it so they had to drive it slow at all times?

In any event - stay clear of this stinker. My loss is your gain- watch something else. Exact score: 28 / 100
