This movie completed my summer

Rating: 10/10 (25 September 2011)

I was a little bummed over this summer's blockbusters. I must admit, I walked out of Pirates 4. But Drive, aww man. Talk about a movie...
You've got Ryan Gosling, all the girls are going nuts over him, so everyone's tricked into thinking this is a quasi-spin off of some Fast and Furious film. WRONG. I have a completely different respect for him now. He's real cold in this film.
If you like mobster flicks, your classic Tony Scott films, with a blend of cold-as-nails Michael Mann films (pre-Miami Vice) then this is the film for you.
It's gritty, it's fast, and it's a soon to be a cult classic.
The music, by the Chromatics is a personal favorite. The pacing and the brute violence really grabs the audience by the balls. It's a must for the theaters. The long takes in the film are killer. Refn did an amazing job with character development and exposition. It's torn edges in and torn edges out.
I was not disappointed at all. Check it out right now.
