"The Devil is Driving" is one of the stranger films of its era. First, it's unusual because the usually dapper Edmund Lowe is cast as an auto mechanic! Lowe was much like Adolph Menjou--a fashion plate and sophisticated sort of guy and seeing him in overalls is unusual...though he was such a good actor, it worked anyway. Second, the setting is very strange. The story unfolds in the oddest hot car outfit imaginable. Think about it...a multistory highrise in the big city...with a parking garage and garage....and hidden garages in the higher floors where the repaint and strip the cars they steal! The bosses (and this is pretty weird) are in the floors above...one of which is a mute who is murderous and might just be the big boss covering as the other man's servant! Weird is definitely the word for all this.
Problems occur when the bosses hire two particularly stupid and unsavory characters. The pair end up nearly blowing everything because they aren't careful and later they run over the head mechanic's son! But it gets worse...and I don't want to say more since it would ruin the exciting (and brutal) finale.
Overall, this is a great film because it's so unusual and shockingly violent at times...and will never bore you! See this one.
