The two most overlooked films of the BBS era, Drive, He Said and A Safe Placeare daring, personal character studies, and the directorial debuts of, respectively, Jack Nicholson and Henry Jaglom. Nicholson's feverish snapshot of the early seventies concerns a disaffected college basketball player and his increasingly radical roommate. In Jaglom's de...
The Criterion Collection packs together two lesser known films from the BBS era, Jack Nicholson's Drive, He Said and Henry Jaglom's A Safe Place, both presented here in their original aspect ratios of 1.85:1, sharing the same dual-layer disc. This Blu-ray edition marks both films' debut on home video in North America. Both presentations are encoded...
Drive, He Said's linear PCM mono track is much better than I was anticipating but it’s still a little flat and lifeless. Dialogue, music, and general sound effects are clear, and there’s no damage or bothersome noise in the background, but it’s just lacking that punch and can be a little tinny. I found I had to crank the volume a little for A Safe ...
Criterion packs on a few supplements across both films, but oddly Drive, He Saidgets skimmed over a bit and presents the most disappointing set of supplements. The supplements for each film are found under the respective film's submenu. In fact, the film only gets one significant supplement, an 11-minute documentary called A Cautionary Tale of Camp...
America Lost and Foundis one of the more fascinating box sets to come from anyone, offering a comprehensive look at one of the more important and interesting production companies to ever get into the business, making an impact that can still be felt today. While A Safe Place gets a decent amount of love, Drive, He Saideasily has the weakest present...

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 ...
There is a lot that is admirable about the film. It is a fascinating glimpse into the lives of college-aged individuals in the early 70's. But it is not well-directed and many scenes are bizarre and defy explanation. That is not necessarily a bad thing but I felt this film needed more coherence and verisimilitude.
There really isn't anything indicating he is a bad guy. He isn't an upstanding citizen, but considering the environment, the people in the crime world are exponentially worse than him. He's backed up in a corner, and instead of playing possum, he's like a badger going after his ennemy and biting to death in the dick.

Sep 14, 2011 · 4 min read. The Driver drives for hire. He has no other name, and no other life. When we first see him, he’s the wheelman for a getaway car, who runs from police pursuit not only by using sheer speed and muscle, but by coolly exploiting the street terrain and outsmarting his pursuers. By day, he is a stunt driver for action movies.
