Review of Drive (2011) by Magnificentm — 21 Dec 2011
Drive is unlike any heist film/thriller I have ever seen...in a good way. It's full of intensity and left me riveted from the opening scene until the very end. The best part of the movie is Ryan Goslings amazing performance which goes against the action hero norm and then there is Albert Brooks who's bad guy portrayal will hopefully earn him a deserved Oscar.
The movie moves at a rather slow pace but it somehow maintains the same level of tension throughout due to a job well done by director Nicolas Winding Refn. The movie is also complemented by an amazing soundtrack and great cinematography.
But I have to warn you that this is not an action movie with tons of explosions, expensive visual effects, or the occasional comic relief so stay away from this movie if that's what your looking for.
If your looking for a well acted and well told alternative to the big blockbuster action movies, this is your kind of film.
