DriverX (2017)
3/10
Beginning, middle, ending? plot?
9 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
It is too bad that a good premise, good actors, a good production, and a lot of hard work floundered from such a poor script. Painfully poor. I have read the producer's comment about low budget, funding issues, but that has nothing to do with writing the story. So a recently unemployed middle aged man applies for ONE job in LA, does not get the one job and becomes an uber driver rather than apply for other jobs. Marital problems stem from financial problems, about 10 short vignettes about riders he picks up thrown in which mostly seems to be useful for filling film time and it ends. There were so many missed opportunities to develop a better story. The writer claims the aim was subtlety, but there is a fine line between subtle and boring.
