My rating: 7/10
Will I watch it again? No.
What you're likely to come away from this with is the interesting choice the score is. It's performed by a string quartet that's periodically augmented with other instruments. It felt weird at first but it grew on me by the end and I really dug it when it was all said and done. It's one of the cuter entries in to this 8-film series. It's funny that The Driver receives a gift from the passenger in the way of a bandaid with The Hulk on it. Lee would go on to direct THE HULK (2003) two years later. Cute inside joke.
