Review of Drive (2011) by Raven D — 05 Jan 2015

(Edited Review):

Wow.Appreciate after more viewings.The symbolism,the themes of violence and the inevitable,the fatalism (the scorpion and the frog...).A movie about a character who tries to stray from his place in the world,and pays the price.You are the driver,you are not a husband,a father,this is your place in the world,your role.Just drive.Added half a star more.The story is basic but it suits to explore the themes exposed,violence vs civility/family life,inevitablitiy/fatalism.All through a very particular character.Only mantain my complaint about the last scene of the driver in the car being too long,Al Brooks being a meh villain (though I like him a bit more),and the fork death in the pizzeria being too unnecesarily gory.

Flawless visually and music-wise,the 80´s style fits perfect.Tight movie.
