The Perfect Heist

Rating: 6/10 (15 October 2011)

This movie should be called "The Perfect Heist" NOT Driver. Ryan Gosling played the perfect get away driver. Unfortunately this movie came short. Like in most heist movies, you can figure out the plot, well this is it. Small time thugs committing robberies and ended up in a jam, everything snowball afterward. Ryan's personal life has caused chaos to everyone around him. What I was hopping from him is to get out before it's too late. Most career criminals don't know when to bail out. These situations leave you with only three options jail, dead, or retirement.
This movie seems to drag a little, him falling in love with one of his partner in crime wife and others chasing after him. At one moment where the driver seems to be out smarting everyone and other times he seems to be too violent. Most of these movies seems to leave a message. The only thing I got from this is how one person's life seems to ruin a lots of lives. The plot was obvious and action kept me on the edge of my seat. However, if the story line had a meaning behind it, a little twist to the move, it would've gotten a better review from me. I was hopping it falls into the classics but it's still a great movie to see.
