Review of Drive (2011) by Jon R — 18 Oct 2017
(2011) FILM: "DRIVE".
Director: Nicolas Winding Refn.
Lead Actors: Ryan Gosling/Bryan Cranston.
BRILLIANTLY CAPTIVATING!
VIOLENTLY SEDUCTIVE!
HAUNTINGLY ROMANTIC!
Any genuine film buff like myself would sadly agree that when looking back at (2011), it was an absolutely horrendous year for the film industry. Only director Nicolas Refn's "DRIVE" and Gavin O'Connor's spellbinding attraction "WARRIOR" were even worthy of "BEST PICTURE" and both of them were disgracefully snubbed by the 83rd Annual Academy Awards. With its exceptionally soothing trancelike musical score, polarizing imagery and mesmerizing blend of attitude and violence, the unconventionally chaotic (2011) film "DRIVE" is nothing short of spectacular. A genuine cinematic masterpiece that's absolutely astonishing from beginning to end!
Ryan Gosling's riveting performance as a mysteriously obscure Hollywood stunt driver is slickly enchanting and even though the character himself is a man with very little to say, his actions speak immensely louder than his words as he magnificently delivers one of the most remarkably rewarding and uncommonly intense vengeance sequences of all time.
