Drive is one of the more violent buddy comedies of its time and has been considered by some to be “Rush Hour before there was Rush Hour.” Dacascos and Hardison play off each other akin to a low-rent version of the Jackie Chan/Chris Tucker team-up but are nonetheless effective in keeping audience interest with well-timed, witty banter in between action sequences.
Adding a young Brittany Murphy to the mix serves to elevate the movie, as the actress worked to make Deliverance Bodine one of the more memorable supporting female characters to ever blast enemies away on screen.
