| Drive (1996) Cast:Mark Dacascos,Kadeem Hardison,Brittany Murphy,Tracey Walter Dacascos stars as a bionic man who fights a group of hitmen sent by a group of so he takes Hardison hostage to drive him to freedom in this fast paced, energetic and just plain excellent martial arts actioner. This is what Black Mask should've been with it's wonderful action sequences and a chrismatic duo (Dacascos and Hardison) Drive is a best bet for Hong Kong junkies who will no doubt get a big kick out of this totally out of control and outrageously entertaining flick. Plus it's the movie that Dacascos needed to get really noticed after a series of such mediocre head-bashers(Kickboxer 5 and American Samurai) as well as a few duds (Double Dragon and Only The Strong) however Drive remains Dacascos' best movie to date, especially since his martial artistry alone makes this thrilling saga worth watching.
