Conceived as an homage to Jean-Pierre Melville this is arguably Walter Hill's best film. Like most of Melville's films this places a criminal loner center stage. Hill goes one further: none of the characters have names. They are simply 'the driver', 'the cop' and 'the girl' and as played by Ryan O'Neal, Bruce Dern and Isabelle Adjani respectively, that's enough. The dialogue is sparse - Ryan O'Neal's character only says 350 words in the entire movie - and the cars are as fast as the mood is lean.
