Review of Drive (2011)

By Jim Schembri (1,298) for The Age (Australia) (918) on 24 Oct 2011

Ultra-violent, ultra-tedious, bargain-basement rip-off of the classic 1978 Walter Hill film The Driver…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Ed Gibbs (248) for The Sun Herald (86) on 22 Oct 2011

Drive, above all else, reminds us why Gosling has been hailed as the new Sean Penn, or even a 21st-century Brando. He is outstanding…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Louise Keller (804) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 21 Oct 2011

A gripping heist thriller with a difference, Drive relies on subtleties, surprises and shocks as it keeps the audience engrossed…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Andrew L. Urban (972) for Urban Cinefile (2,850) on 21 Oct 2011

It is ironic how much filmmaker Nicolas Winding Refn uses the brakes in pacing this noirish art house thriller…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Fernando F. Croce (840) for CinePassion (694) on 15 Oct 2011

A laboratory distillation, but a fairly ravishing one…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Nicolas Rapold (488) for Film Comment Magazine (842) on 08 Oct 2011

While you could lean back and nod along to Refn's posturing, the film plays more like an exercise in turn-of-the-Eighties nostalgia, a movie-length…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Mark R. Leeper (892) for Mark Leeper's Reviews (297) on 05 Oct 2011

Refn's style is to draw out scenes to make a slow film punctuated with strong violence…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Kelly Vance (1,015) for East Bay Express (1,012) on 05 Oct 2011

That rarity of rarities, an arty actioner that requires almost no excuses…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Sam Bathe (186) for Fan The Fire (489) on 04 Oct 2011

The film treats the audience with intelligence; it doesn't lay everything out and instead leaves you to do a little legwork too…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Neil Pond (477) for American Profile (252) on 28 Sep 2011

Punctuates its long stretches of cool, carefully calculated menace with splattery spasms of shocking violence…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Wally Hammond (134) for Sight and Sound (827) on 26 Sep 2011

A more or less conventional Los Angeles-set hot-rod/getaway-driver movie with neo-noir decoration -- albeit satisfying enough on its own terms…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Jason Best (961) for Movie Talk (957) on 25 Sep 2011

From its opening shots, Refn's movie is as cool and controlled as its protagonist... at once unhurriedly stylish and intensely gripping…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Glenn Lovell (434) for CinemaDope (253) on 24 Sep 2011

High-octane excitement for the art-house set ... Think 'Two-Lane Blacktop' meets Kubrick's 'The Killing' meets Bresson…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Philip French (1,151) for Observer (UK) (2,398) on 24 Sep 2011

Like the novels of Raymond Chandler and the paintings of David Hockney, Drive is both an accurate view of southern California's intoxicating…

Review of Drive (2011)

By David Sexton (322) for London Evening Standard (2,015) on 24 Sep 2011

A film that moves relentlessly forward, carrying you along so completely that it's only afterwards, if at all, that you begin to wonder about…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Graham Young (657) for Birmingham Mail (391) on 22 Sep 2011

In proving that less is more, Rifn has sent out a message to Hollywood in this age of austerity…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Adam Smith (163) for Radio Times (2,421) on 22 Sep 2011

Oh alright, it ain't Shane. But it is about as much shamelessly disreputable, stylish, ultra-violent fun you're going to have at the movies this year…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Brett Mccracken (54) for Christianity Today (953) on 22 Sep 2011

An artful, impressively made film, and one sure to excite cinephiles, everyday adrenaline junkies, and fans of stylized car chases set to an…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Mike Scott (1,178) for Times-Picayune (642) on 22 Sep 2011

With its emphasis on relationships and character, Drive can best be described as a thinking man's action film -- or at least, it could if it…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Catherine Jones (104) for Liverpool Echo (161) on 22 Sep 2011

The tension is agonising... then rubber burns, the engine revs and we hold on tight. For the next 90 minutes, we don't let go…
