DRIVE HARD 3

One could go cross-eyed looking over the filmography of director Brian Trenchard-Smith. The Australian helmer, transformed into an industry hero in the documentary “Not Quite Hollywood: The Wild, Untold Story of Ozploitation,” is the very definition of a “gotta eat” moviemaker, churning out a run of low-budget productions covering all genres and tastes. “Drive Hard” is Trenchard-Smith’s latest work, boasting a premise that seems right up his alley. It’s a car chase extravaganza, with plenty of scenes devoted to panicked banter and squealing tires, tearing all over the Gold Coast. And yet “Drive Hard” falls a little flat, never quite secure in its insanity and perhaps a bit too ambitious with its screenplay, which spends more time building secretive allegiances than it does tending to the visceral highlights I’m certain most viewers would prefer to see.
