Drive, He Said | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Jack Nicholson's first venture into direction is very much a film of its time.

Nicholson deftly illustrates the background cynicism of big time sports against the more obvious cynicism of college life.

No way can it be said to work, despite the cast's cultish distinction, but it still knocks most of its quasi-radical contemporaries sideways as an index of doomed '60s/'70s causes and confusions.

All of the film's characters, and all of the performances, are touched with the kind of unexpected sensibility and decency that are rare in most films of this genre.

Drive, He Said is another tale, poorly told, of youthful disenchantment. The real disenchantment will be among audiences -- even those responsive to the picture's message -- because of the film's chaotic, undefined style.
