Review of Drive

Drive (1997)
7/10
A funny well made action movie.
21 June 2018
I first seen this back in I think 1998 on TV when I was 8, I remember liking it even then, then around 2001 seen it again on TV.

Fast forward to 2018 and I still like this film, it's just as good as I remember it because sometimes seeing films in your childhood and then in adulthood differs.

I just rented it recently from my library and I still love it. On to the film, Mark Dacascos plays Toby Wong, from what I understand he could possibly be a soldier that more or less volunteered for the program to have a turbo drive device implanted in his chest that gives him superhuman strength, speed and agility. But for him, he is just a prototype, for we later learn there are others just like him in cold storage. Obviously this is the work of a sinister corporation,( but the version I have does not explain any further on that). Kadeem Hardison plays Malik Brody a down on his luck singer who meets Toby in a bar, as the bad guys track him, Malik and Toby flee the scene and Malik must "Drive" him around town to stay one step ahead.

This movie was a lot of fun, it's just non-stop action and laughs from start to finish, and the late Brittany Murphy plays a small roll too, mostly her is part is a comedic side kick for relief.

Overall fun, action packed and re-watchable. I give it a 7/10. I recommend it.
