A different kind of movie.

Rating: 9/10 (11 August 2012)

There was a lot of things that attracted me to this movie. The plot wasn't the great part in the movie, but everything else was. The music, the acting, the silence, the lighting, the sudden violence. It was all just sort of transfixing. I loved how much this movie led you to question it, like for instance what The Drivers name was! The movie was so distracting itself that i didn't even realize that the movie didn't reveal his name! I'm not usually one for action films, but something about this really caught my attention. It was kind of off putting at first how little Ryan Gosling's character seemed to talk. It made you wonder what was going on in his mind, but at times he did seem sociopathicly strange.
I've never seen a movie like this before but it was thoroughly stunning. I loved every minute of it.
