Drive

If it's got wheels, then Ryan Gosling's nameless character can use it. When he is not doing triple rolls as a movie stunt-man, he is being the freelance getaway driver for criminals who need a reliable man to get them out of trouble. His friend "Shannon" (Bryan Cranston) fancies himself as a bit of a motor sport aficionado and suggests to his wealthy (and pretty crooked) pal "Bernie" (Albert Brook...

If you take out the staring and slow motion scenes in the movie, you're left with an hour or less. I liked it in general, but it wasn't as good as it was hyped. It could have been shot at a much faster pace with a different director. Ryan Gosling may be like this, but he looks extremely tense throughout the whole movie.

Drive is a cinematic triumph that delivers an unforgettable ride from beginning to end. While the storyline may seem simple at first, the film's attention to detail and intricacy of world-building truly sets it apart from the rest.

The lack of dialogue forces actors to give incredible perfo...

One of the best films ever made in my opinion. Nothing about this felt boring like people said. Just don't go in expecting an action movie. 10/10 Masterpiece.

Driver (Gosling) has a day job, he's a Holly...

The patient-man's _Transporter_. I've never been much of a Ryan Gosling fan (probably why it took me five years to get around to watching _Drive_). I am a fan of virtually every other cast member in the movie, but I didn't know any of them were in it before I started watching it. _Drive_ wasn't enough to bring me around on to the Ryan Gosling train, but I'll tell you who it definitely did put m...
