This movie was not worth the hype... it was disappointing waiting for the plot to build up but unfortunately felt mellow throughout the movie. Ryan Gosling was very plain throughout the movie as well.
With Drive, Nicholas Winding Refn sidesteps the silliness of recent faux-exploitation films and instead crafts a hardened art-house masterpiece; a strange and compelling film that strides the line between American carsploitation and the noir-inspired crime films of Jean-Pierre Mellville. The film follows a man (Ryan Gosling) who is a exceptionally gifted Hollywood stunt driver who moonlights as a getaway driver. What makes Drive glow is the way the plot delights in tropes and types, filling out the cast with the love interest Irene (Carey Mulligan), her jealous ex-con husband Standard (Oscar Isaac), the mentor/friend Shannon (Bryan Cranston), the smart mob boss (a chilling Albert Brooks) and
Started off great but really did not get much better. Not the worst movie i have seen but no where near where i thought it was gonna be.
Love this movie. Exudes coolness with every turn. It was interesting to see some of the less assuming characters become violent out-of-the-blue. It fit the tone of the movie well. Fantastic soundtrack too. Gotta pick that up.
Not your run-of-the-mill action movie...It's one of those one-off classic action movies that reminds us of the flim noir generation plus the colours...If you're looking for a hardcore action movie, you'll be disappointed...But if you're one with a good taste in movies with multiple genres, this is worth it...
was good love story
Great movie!
One of the best films I've seen in years, they should have named it...OVERDRIVE!
While Ryan Gosling did an excellent job as leading man, I found the movie to be very slow moving, which ended up making the couple of "gory" scenes stand out, but also seem like too much. The movie reminded me a lot of No Country for Old Men, which is a very hard movie to compare to unfortunately. If you are going to see this one, wait for it to come out on DVD/Blu-Ray.
Loved the movie. Action packed and Ryan Gosling is so nice to look at.
