Absolutely amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (28 February 2012)

This movie can only be described as a masterpiece.
The plot sounds simple, but things get really messy as the movie rolls on. A mechanic/ stunt driver / getaway driver decides to help his new neighbor (who he is in love with) and gets into trouble.
It's unique: Acting is superb, Gosling does an astounding performance as a shy guy who lets his emotions speak for himself. Not to mention directing which made me go goosebumps. The movie feels really retro with amazing soundtrack, title fonts and simply gives you a nostalgic feeling.
If you like drama or thriller, this movie is a must-see. It mixes these two categories beautifully, with a bit of gore.
Only thing that surprises me though is that it wasn't nominated for the best motion picture...
My movie of the year 2011! 10/10
