Rating: 10/10 (17 September 2011)

This film absolutely blew my mind. For the past few weeks, I have been hearing nothing but fantastic reviews on this film. The hype was built, and I was definitely not disappointed. The film sucks you in right from the very beginning, and creates a dream-like atmosphere for you to walk out with at the end. I wasn't exactly sure what I was about to watch, all I knew was it was the new Ryan Gosling film and an action thriller.
This is the year for Ryan Gosling. Ever since Blue Valentine, he has been an actor to watch. He has definitely earned a new name for himself apart from The Notebook. His acting was on point, allowing you to feel his presence by just catching the glimpses in his eyes. The cinematography and soundtrack where what completed the film. I instantly went home and bought the soundtrack, and have been playing it ever since. This is what cinema truly is about, and something I miss seeing in films today. I highly suggest seeing this film! You will not be disappointed.
