'Big Driver' movie review

You can read my article here.






Pros

-Strong cast. While Maria Bello carries the brunt of it, the supporting actors and actresses all do well in their respective roles
- The psychological aspect of Bello's character arc are engaging, peculiar, and fascinating to watch.
- The movie doesn't shy away from the violence.  It's pretty jaw dropping


Cons

-The conspiracy angle strains credulity.
- Great potential for moral ambiguity is tossed aside for a resolution that's a little too clean


Overall

The movie brings a lot to the table.  It's unsettling at points, but isn't without some levity.  I wouldn't rank it as high as 'Horns' but it was a stronger outing than 'A Good Marriage'.  If you like dark psychological thrillers, this one is worth checking out at least once.
