Just brilliant

I gotta be honest here: when I started watching Drive I was expecting to see an action movie with fast racing scenes and some crime going on. What I got was something really different (and better).
Drive is about guy that's a mechanic, a stunt man (though this doesn't have a big relevance in the plot) and a getaway driver. Basically he starts getting to know his neighbor when work and love mix up. You can guess the outcome.
The driver has a charismatic personality. He's neutral, quiet, calm, almost like a robot, but not in a unrealistic way. The way this character is done and how Ryan Gosling brings him to life is the key of why this movie is so good... but it's not the only reason.
The camera work is also really good. This movie is full of slow, broad and breathtaking scenery, sometimes accompanied by an awesome retro soundtrack that sticks to you even though that genre is not your thing. It's really unique.
So yeah, I could keep saying good things about this movie, but it would be better if you just go watch it. I'm sure you'll like it.
