What a gem

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 2011)

Okay story is simple, part time stunt driver, mechanic and wheelman with skills in all departments. I only went to see this because the other movie I wanted to see was a 12A and had a ton of kids going in. Knew the rough story and figured Ryan Gosling why not. What an opening the atmosphere is brilliant and the music is superb like an 80s flashback. Simply put the driver gets double crossed on a job and has to cover his back. Ryan Gosling plays the part brilliantly and there is violence in the movie, warranted where used but I warn you very bloody when it happens and there is nothing left to the imagination. I felt that the rest of the cast did well but this is Ryan Goslings baby and he steals every shot. Thuroughly enjoyable. If I had to criticise it I would say maybe a little slow in parts? Still loved this movie and will be buying it. A cult classic that will not do as well at the box office as it deserves.
