Review of Drive (2011) by Lahaine — 18 Jan 2012
Drive is a uniquely crafted art-house "action" film that acts as a perfect opposition to the adrenaline-laden Mission Impossibles,Transformers and many more. It follows a quiet stunt/getaway driver (Ryan Gosling) and his conflict with dangerous criminals after trying to assist a friend in a robbery.
Nicolas Winding Refn's direction is Hyper-stylized; he evokes thought through nuance and creates tension through silence. The editing is bold and the cast did an excellent job, particularly Gosling and Albert Brooks.
Its pace may leave some bored, but it will leave others (like myself) intrigued.
