“If I drive for you, you give me a time and a place. I give you a five-minute window, anything happens in that five minutes and I'm yours no matter what. I don't sit in while you're running it down; I don't carry a gun… I drive”.
Movie Stunt Driver by day; Getaway Wheelman for hire by night, Ryan Gosling starts as “Driver” a man who answers to no-one and plays by his own rules. Living in the shadows as he takes jobs from pseudo-mentor Shannon (brilliantly portrayed by Breaking Bad's Bryan Cranston), Driver reluctantly works to build a lucrative race car contract, under the bank roll of unsavory underworld figures Nino (Ron Pearlman) and Bernie Rose (a scorching effort by Albert Brooks) Life is a blur of film sets and crime scenes; until he sees the opportunity at a ‘normal’ life by taking care of his beautiful neighbour and solo mother, Irene (Carey Mulligan) and her son Benicio. As Driver settles into his new role, peace is disturbed by the return from prison of Irene's husband, Standard (Oscar Isaac) and his seedy organised crime contacts and dealings that pollute their lives. Based on the novel by James Sallis and winner of the Best Director accolade for Nicolas Winding Refn at Cannes Film Festival – this is the MUST see film of 2011.
Drive is not your typical action movie. It is a slow-paced, character-driven action that takes you into a whole new style of cinema. The soundtrack is retrospective to the 80's electronic music. Ryan Gosling at his best.
After hearing a lot about this movie, I still wasn't too sure what to
expect.
It is slow paced, with a simple plot but execution is spot on! It is actually
quite violent and graphic in certain scenes but not so over the top that it
detracts from a great movie.
Don't expect tons of car chases and continuous action but more of a thriller
that is well told, well acted and well worth seeing.
A huge disapointment!! Definitely give this one a miss and don't waste your money as I did, it is rubbish!! Story seemed ok and I was all geared up to watch some really good car chases ( as the main character is a stunt driver! ) but no.. Nothing decent at all. I should have and will use this Disc as a claybird target and blow it to pieces with a shotgun..
Great movie by the champion director Nicolas Winding Refn, director of the movie ‘Bronson’. Its got its fair share of violence and car chases but its got a great story, intriguing characters and awesome music. It's not a all out action flick, its more of a drama, Ryan Gosling plays a great isolated loner in the film who somewhat plays a hero character. This film is not for everybody, but I loved it! Very stylish and cool, one of the most original films seen in a while.
