weak sauce

Rating: 3/10 (11 January 2012)

Don't waste your time on this movie. My wife fell asleep 20 minutes in and I hung on for the rest, which it turns out was a mistake. First of all I watched this movie because I saw the high rating on IMDb and usually the ratings are accurate. I rated this movie a 3 for good reason: weak script and a cheesy plot line, while the opening scene holds promise and it appears the audience might be in for anything but a cliché - it turns into one of the oldest formulas in the book "damsel in distress." Ugh. Gosling does what he can with a formula plot, weak script and the typical implausible ending. If you are looking for something beyond basic mindless dribble then steer clear of the Driver a chop-o-matic, Jasonesk film with little to know substance.
