B-
It’s Baruchel’s surprising performance that sells the misfit macho act, embodying the fear and adrenaline found when the stunt of your dreams might be your last. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com 4 days ago
2/4
It exists in this space between comedy and drama, a profile of an oddball that doesn’t have enough to say about what made him tick or what made him funny. Go to Full Review Vadim Rizov Variety 4 days ago
While the technical aspects of the period recreation are impressive, this remake never finds its own reason to exist. Go to Full Review Zachary Goldkind In Review Online 6 hrs ago
Everything is as indexical as possible here, which becomes a bit confusing as we try to glean some essence or substance that the film is trying to offer as a reflection on its subject matter. Go to Full Review Jared Mobarak Hey, Have You Seen ...? 3 days ago
6/10
It’s a pretty by-the-numbers period piece that works because of its eccentric characters. What begins as a farce populated by brash buffoons becomes about the drama inherent to the process behind this runaway train coming to fruition. Go to Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Region Free 5 days ago
4/5
The Stunt Driver is a brisk, breezy, and ultimately very charming film about misplaced ambition and how easy it is to get swept into someone else's madness. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
