Ageing well

Under discussion:

The Driver  (1978)

 I don't think this has been bettered for car smash /chase action...and if you read a synopsis that omitted the four-wheel stuff it would sound sooo unpromising.

No character names ,minimal character development,total underplaying ,except for Bruce Dern who literally chews the scenery..

It's the Sheriff versus the "gun for hire" ...the "loner" ,man with no name ,who listens to country music(?!) who wants to turn over a new leaf...an almost comotose "love interest" ...but what it comes down to is a battle between a Pontiac Firebird and a breathed-over Ford pickup...
