Review of Drive, He Said (1971) by Eric M — 15 Mar 2011
Jack Nicholson's directorial debut concerning an ambitious college basketball star and his increasingly radical (and unhinged) roommate boasts several good performances (particularly Bruce Dern as a strict coach) and a few interesting scenes, but never really comes together as a coherent narrative, and it's difficult to really understand what point Nicholson and screenwriter Jeremy Larner are trying to make.
Still worth watching though, and now finally available on home video after 40 years as part of Criterion's "America Lost and Found: the BBS Story" box set.
