Silently Awesome

Rating: 9/10 (17 September 2011)

Like this film, I'm not gonna' do the same tedious review rather do it straightforward.
Everyone in this review box has exhausted all the praises for this acclaimed film, which it rightfully deserves.
I even doubted it was that awesome til' I actually saw it myself.
I never heard anyone of my colleagues ever mentioned this film before for they were still preoccupied with movies commercially bitten by its franchise.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you love cinema at its rawest form, you have to watch a film this caliber. If you love cars, especially with better drivers on it, very interesting drivers i might add, what's the wait for you reading this. If you tend for films that draws emotion through hypnotic score and brutally honest dialogue, go watch this now. And lastly if you can handle violence and love your suspense palpable yet still thrills you unexpected stop right here, call your local cinema and tell them you want a secured seat.
For this film, Nicolas Winding Refn proves himself to be a wonder - craftsman with utter taste. Putting artistic perfection on such a commercially appealing hence relatively known plot.
Speechless for Ryan Gosling as he's equally and effectively quiet in this film. He's mostly silent, but on his face is the summary of the scene.
Drive didn't create much talk til' later half of this year but I'm certain it'll in the coming days after its wide release.
It has reasons why I love going into theater without second thinking of paying. I guess what I'm trying to say is that, yes it is awesome. Silently awesome.
