Summary: A LOT LIKE "RUSH HOUR"
Review: "Drive" was surprisingly good. I've seen Mark Dacascos in "Only the Strong" and "The Crow" T.V. series. I was very entertained by the action but I wasn't impressed by his acting. He's much better in this movie. There's a ton of action and Dacascos Martial Arts moves are as visualy appealing as anyone in the movies. I thought this film was better then Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour". The chemistry between Mark Dacascos and Kadeem Hardison is excellent. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who likes Martial Arts action films, it's a good one.

Summary: Wang wants to do a sequel!
Review: A friend recommended this film to me, and I can not stop thanking him. The moves Mark uses are so crisp and clean its like he's fighting on ice. There really is no plot, but who really cares about little things like that? Mark shows he can act, Kardeem isn't annoying (for once), and John Pyper rules, Hey get this film!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A must see for Dacascos fans...
Review: Although many of the scenes are present just for Dacascos to showboat his aerial/gymnast capabilities, the martial arts in this movie are probably the best he has ever done. The movie is very reminiscent of a Jackie Chan film but has it's own twists. For all you Mark Dacascos fans out there, this is a must see/buy.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Excellent mixture of choreography and comedy
Review: Although most of Mark Dascascos' lines are kind of corny, there is no disputing his martial arts ability. The action in this movie was non stop and the choreography was inventive and fun. This is just another example of Mark's flexibility in his martial arts roles. A perfect mixture of 'wirework' and non wirework martial arts. A must see for anyone looking for 90+ minutes of exciting fighting sequences.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An alternative to Jackie Chan! Yaaaahoooo!
Review: As a fan of Martial Arts I must give this movie an " A+". Even the plot was quite okay, or do you expect super-emotional, drama acting in a movie like this? I guess not. The way I see it, the movie is made for " martial" fun and entertainment. I knew that Mark Dacascos had a lot of talent as he has shown in " Only the Strong" and " Crying Freeman". But Drive has totally convinced me that he is even better than van Damme and Seagal. The choreographing of the fights are similar to another " Super action hero" from Hong Kong ( You know who I'm talking about? ). He has super-flashy dancing moves like you have never seen before. In my opinion he should have a role in a Jackie Chan movie. But besides Dacascos, Kadeem Hardisson has also done a good by entertaining us with his motormouth.( Because I'm a german citizen I've just seen the German dubbed version. I'm looking forward to see the original version.) Unbelievable movie. What else can you say.....

Summary: Take a test DRIVE
Review: DRIVE is an excellent action film for the entire family. Mark Dacascos stars in this modern martial arts adventure. His exceptional fighting skills steal the show, but it has so much more. Mark plays a shy, chinese spy on the run. Kadeem Hardison is kidnapped by Mark while on the run. Their adventures together will keep you laughing 'til the very end. The fight scenes will amaze you. Take this film home for a test DRIVE and enjoy an evening of fun and action.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: At last! An American-made Hong Kong style film!
Review: DRIVE is one of the most fun, non-stop action films I've ever seen (and the director's cut, not available in the US, is even better!). Mark Dacascos is absolutely incredible as Toby Wong, and Kadeem Hardison is hysterically funny as Malik Brody, ad libbing many of his lines. Brittany Murphy - the perfect airhead. And John Pyper-Ferguson makes SUCH a great bad guy. Masaya Kato, working with Mark again after the wonderful film Crying Freeman (again, not available in the US), is the perfect foe in his role as The Advanced Model.

I highly recommend this movie to any fan of the Hong Kong action film genre. The wire work is perfect, the action intense, the comedy biting (wait for Toby to give him name to the cops - fell off my chair laughing). As a side note, while chatting with Mark's father, Sifu Al Dacascos (and one bad boy himself), he mentioned that this movie doesn't show even half of what Mark is capable of. And after seeing his performance of Wu Shu at the U.S. Western Nationals a couple of weeks ago, I can't wait to see even more movies that showcase his incredible talents. I tried pausing the DVD to see how Mark was making some of his moves, but he's so danged fast you just can't catch it. He's #1 in my book :D

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Drive is a killah!
Review: Drive is some dank stuff. The fighting scenes in this movie are so radical dude. I have never seen such original fighting scenes and moves as in this film. I love how the characters react in the most totally unrealistic ways to far out situations. Like Kadeem Hardison trying to bite off a dead hand from a machine gun! The plot and acting, are of course top quality B movie standards. That probably couldn't get too much worse, but that's not important. The movie is really entertaining and I highly recommend it. Now if I could only find the soundtrack! "Where's the party at?! ho' ho'!!!"
