Shooshoo80's rating
Why do decent movies get over-looked, while the trash runs rampant through the theaters. I'm still pi**ed off about losing my money to the crappy movies that came at the theaters this summer. I saw part of "The Drive" on HBO or Showtime. I can't remember which one. Then I saw the rest of it on USA. I was surprised to see how good the movie was, to be second rate. In fact, the production value of the movie was pretty good. What surprised me most of all was the action. The action was better than most of the action in American made movies. Mark Dascasos was pretty good. I've seen in him in other movies, and in the Crow TV series. But his acting her was decent. It was like he was given a chance to shine. Also, I was surprised the movie came out in 1996 or 1997. During that time, this movie was ahead of the game. My big question is, "WHY WASN'T THIS RELEASED IN THEATERS?" Hell, Van Damme was still releasing crap in the theaters (Universal Soldier: The Return). Kadeem Hardison (TV series: A Diffent World) was decent too. However, I absolutely loved Brittany Murphy (Clueless), as the ditzy girl in the movie. PEOPLE PLEASE TAKE NOTICE OF THIS MOVIE. I hope Hollywood will catch on and weed all the turds out of the theaters. Underrated movies like "The Drive" deserve a chance. In addition, Mark Dascasos deserves a chance too. Please, retire Chuck Norris, Van Damme, etc. they have nothing left to offer. I give this movie a 6.5/10. I give this rating, because the plot was a little cliched. All in all a good movie.
I don't understand why this movie doesn't have a higher rating. I mean this movie was off the chain. Almost everybody in the movie had me cracking up. The movie maybe a little more silly and heavy-handed with it's message than the first one, but on the whole it still works. The only bad side is that Robin Harris (father) wasn't able to be in this sequel, because he died of a heart attack shortly after the first House Party came out. On a brighter note, people get to see Martin Lawrence before he started racking in the big bucks. I give this movie an 8/10.
