Truly a product of a particular decade, somehow The Pleasure Drivers (2006) arrived about seven years after that decade. It's another LA-based low-budget crime movie, with this one peppering itself with vague philosophical aspirations but what they are saying lacks any insight and is dumb. And, the movie is entirely populated by characters who take their cues from how human beings behave from other movies.
Everything about the film feels late-90's, part of the post Pulp Fiction indie boom. It's three stories that loosely intertwine, and, of course, collide at the end. But none of the three stories is very interesting and none of the characters terribly watchable.
One story is a completely undercooked segment or two about a hitwoman who was just dumped by her girlfriend. That's it. I never caught the character's name, why she was dumped, or what her deal was, if she had one. She appears at the beginning and again at the end.
