Fantastic and gripping movie

Rating: 10/10 (24 September 2011)

Went to see this movie last night and i have to say that it was just a brilliant and beautiful movie. First off i have to say that if you are going based on the trailer for this movie you could be disappointed a bit considering that pretty much all the action in this movie is alluded to in the trailer.
Ryan gosling did an amazing job conveying the emotions of being a loner who meets a girl and starts falling in love, it's organic and awkward and this movie captures it perfectly. you are able to see pure fury in his eyes during the tense action scenes as well. Ryan Gosling just does a great job here and proves he's an amazing actor.
The soundtrack is another thing that adds so much to this movie, as well as the supporting characters. Mulligan and Cranston are great. And even Perlman is able to pull off that mobster vibe.
I know a lot of people will think its boring but i found this whole movie captivating, and definitely think it's one of the best movies of the year.
