A driving instructor (Thomas Jane) who used to race autos is forced to drive a getaway car for a thief (John Cusack) who plans to steal $9 million.

Critics Consensus

Hitting the pavement with an empty tank of inspiration, Drive Hard goes through its action beats in fits and starts before puttering out completely.

The experience is like watching an unprepared teenager fake his way through different classes at once: briefly fascinating, mostly idiotic.

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.

Very disappointing potboiler that runs out of gas far too quickly.

Delivers a goodly amount of good natured action fun but in the end suffers from being just too low-key for its own good.

"Drive Hard" is just a bore, barely registering as a movie, which is a shame, because with the oddball cast and somewhat notable director, it could have been fun and trashy.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

An Australian film of terrible accents. John Cusack causes havoc in Gold Coast and bonds with a retired Race car Driver. Some laughs and quite a bit of gun powder and speed driving.

Unwatchable. Painful. Gah.

Low budget "buddy" movie filmed entirely on, and blatantly for, Gold Coast Australia tourism industry advertisement, featuring Surfers Paradise and Hinterland scenery to add to your Gold Coast holiday memorabilia. Mild violence, police chases, gangsters, bikey-gang for light entertainment.

The jokey tone fails due to an awkward script that isn't as funny as it thinks it is with an awkward mix of swearing and cartoonish characters.
