DriverX is a 2017 American drama film directed by Henry Barrial, starring Patrick Fabian.
The film was released in theatres on 30 November 2018.[1]
Dan Buffa of KSDK wrote that the film "shines a much-needed light on a profession that's not as easy as it looks" and is "far more interesting" than he initially thought it would be.[2] Ben Kenigsberg of The New York Times wrote that while the film is "not perfect" and features "one wild night too many", its outlook "lingers".[3] Noel Murray of the Los Angeles Times wrote that while the film is a "little reductive when it comes to the generation gap", the performances are "excellent" and Barrial "isn’t playing Leonard’s predicament for cheap laughs or amped-up drama".[4]
Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the film "has the style but not the substance of a strong ’70s indie drama, stalls out quickly and goes nowhere interesting."[5] Nick Allen of RogerEbert.com gave the film a "thumbs down" and wrote that it is "selling a lifestyle of working for billion-dollar rideshare companies, masquerading as a light-hearted indie when it has the soul of a commercial."[6]
