Review of Drive (2011) by James L — 17 May 2014

This had been on my want to see list for ages because I'd heard so much about it. Its the movie that makes men love Ryan Gosling just as much as us women do. It's dark, sexy, violent, blood splattered, dreamlike and unique.

And while I didn't love it as much as I expected to I appreciate it for being an instant classic and I'm rating it up due to originality -which is super hard to find in movies nowadays. Ryan Gosling is a Hollywood stunt driver by day but as he says "It's only part time.

" By night he's the getaway driver for heist operations. He is one cool character here, unlike I've ever seen him before. Silent for the most part, speaking only when necessary and showing a range of emotion; tough, sexy, enraged, caring, and oh that smile when we get it.

For me this had a real 70's vibe and I should probably give it another watch. 5/16/14.
