"By the end of THE DRIVER you can almost smell rubber burning, there are so many screeching tires. This may be the first film where the star of the show isn't an actor or even a machine but a sound effect. Ryan O'Neal plays a master getaway driver who does most of his talking with his accelerator toe."
Variety, 1978
