Drive
Can't wait to see this again.. - sr
This is no Hollywood blockbuster and that's what makes this such an amazing piece of work. No mega action scenes or saturation of cheesy one liners here. Very European and very art house in influence. Again Gosling shows off his skill not only in acting through the bones of his character but also in his choice of who he works with and what he works on. Working as a two bit stunt man and moonlighting as a getaway driver, Gosling falls for his neighbour who has a young son and I won't go to much further into the story. This is a very stylish and classy composition. For those looking for something along the lines of Transporter or Gone In 60 Seconds, this isn't the movie for you. Nicely paced with well placed minimalist action and well placed scenes of violence, this is one for real film lovers. Faultless. Loved it. 11/10
