Drive follows Toby Wong, whose employers at Hong Kong's Leung Corporation have implanted in his chest a bio-energy module that enhances his physical abilities. Toby has escaped from the Leung Corporation's control and is making his way to Los Angeles, where a competing company has offered to remove the implant and give him his life back.After arriving in San Francisco, Toby encounters -- and, in desperation, kidnaps -- Malik Brodie, who has the means to get him to Los Angeles. Following close behind are professional assassins and junk-culture connoisseurs Vic Madison and The Hedgehog, who are pursuing Toby in the employ of the Leung Corporation's president, Mr. Lau.

My quick rating - 6,0/10. This is I believe Mark Dacascos best movie to date. He was that martial art pretty boy that popped up when Brandon Lee passed away, and he is very good. He carries this movie completely as far as action goes, and the mismatch with Kadeem Hardison for comedy does work well. Typical unexpected duo running from the bad guys story. Although the everyday bad guys are pretty inept, but then the superbad guys with implants in them making them unstoppable step in. All part of a convulated story to keep Dacascos alive for his genius science work. Don't worry about complex story, just enjoy the action.
