Went in expecting "Transporter", what I got was a real movie. A rare action movie with great acting. Very good movie. I say B+

Rating: 7/10 (10 January 2012)

"You put this kid behind the wheel there's nothing he can't do." Stunt driver (Gosling) moonlights as a getaway driver for criminal heists. He only drives, doesn't carry a gun and has a specific time frame he operates in. When his neighbors husband gets released from jail he finds him beat up and bloody with his son. Realizing that there is only one way to help him he decides to drive for him, until something goes wrong. I went in expecting "Transporter" with Ryan Gosling. I was wrong. While I did like that movie this one was much better. This movie actually had more of a plot and more tension I thought. While "Transporter" was more action based this one was more story and character based. There were large chunks without dialog but the performances were so good that you knew what they were "saying". There are some strong graphic violence scenes in this but I have to say this was much different then I expected. Much better also. Overall, very much worth watching and much better then I expected. I give it a B+.
