7 Great Mysterious Strangers in Movies
We salute you, oh shadows of celluloid...
7. "Driver" from Get the Gringo (2012)
Mel Gibson's rogue, piss-off performance is enough to take you back to the glory days of old when he donned an 80s mullet and shot off charm and insanity as much as he did bullets, but there's something wonderfully pleasing about the character only known as "Driver" throughout the movie (he gives a pseudonym as hid identity to other characters). And while we're eager to take back a wily role from the Braveheart star, the fact that it's never divulged into as more than a wise-cracking, on-the-toes swashbuckler just makes Driver's presence all the more delectable. Churn out more of these films, Mel, and we'll come crawling back!"Well, boys and girls. To the untrained eye it looks as if crime pays, doesn't it? But bear in mind, for guys with my particular set of karmic could-be's, there was bound to be a bump or two down the road."
