The film revolves around a driving instructor who has been a professional racer Peter begins the adventure with his new client Simon. The police shoot into the car which they are driving and Peter realizes that he is participating in a bank robbery led by Simon…
You know there's something fundamentally wrong with Drive Hard less than five seconds in: It opens on a shot of star Thomas Jane sporting an absurd mop of a hairdo that might have been borrowed from a Raggedy Ann doll.
[It] doesn't exactly work up a sweat devising an interesting plot villains, but the badinage between the odd couple ... makes the time pass painlessly enough.
"Drive Hard" is just a bore, barely registering as a movie, which is a shame, because with the oddball cast and somewhat notable director, it could have been fun and trashy.
Normally, I would have no objection to being trapped in a car with John Cusack, but that was before I saw "Drive Hard."
