The Driver (1978)

A getaway driver becomes the latest assignment for a tenacious detective.

From memory:  Stylish, straightforward exercise in making a purified genre picture is indeed successful for what it strives to be, but nearly hollow in content; most memorable element, however, are the excellent car chase sequences.

Halliwell***+: "Deft and clever thriller that has been stripped of all redundancies and reduced to its core, of two obsessional men on different sides of the law locked in deadly conflict. It is a simple, spare story of bleak lives, brilliantly told."

Maltin***: "Tense throwback to the Hollywood film noir era...Oddball melodrama doesn't seem like much at the time, but has a way of staying with you afterwards.Great car chase sequences."

The Baltimore Bullet (1980)

A tale of two hustlers trying to set up a big game.

From memory: Mildly entertaining and lively pool sharks comedy; at least the cast seemed to have had some fun.

Halliwell (no star): "Flabby comedy attempting a lighthearted version of The Hustler. The rewards are meagre."

Maltin**1/2: "Pleasant enough film..."

A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

Several people are hunted by a cruel serial killer who kills his victims in their dreams.
