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.

Does a lot of revving in order to juice its jokey, violent bad-boy cred, but it never gets out of the driveway.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

Approximately as unforgettable as its title ...

Normally, I would have no objection to being trapped in a car with John Cusack, but that was before I saw "Drive Hard."
