Like me, you may be hesitating to watch this. Rest assured you would be missing out on a masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (2 March 2012)

I saw the billboards with Ryan Gosling at the wheel of a car. DRIVE. I didn't bother watching the trailers because I quickly came to the conclusion this was just one of those action-packed movies that might be somewhat entertaining, but not worthy of spending a bit on a movie theater ticket.
One day at a family party I begin listening mid-conversation to a friend of the family talking about a spectacular movie with great acting and absolutely phenomenal filming. The lights, the sounds, the camera shots. I was intrigued, so I asked the name of the movie. DRIVE.
I remained hesitant until one day while passing a theater I decided to finally give the movie a try. What a great decision that was. The film isn't afraid to venture out and try something different. It attempts and delivers in spectacular fashion.
Films like 'The Descendants' and 'The Artist' received all the attention this year, and they are without a doubt great films. But this and 2 other films have been the ones that have left me stunned in my seat at the masterpieces I had just experienced. DRIVE.
