Someone give this guy an Oscar...

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2012)

Drive was an insanely wonderful break away from these over-hyped macho blockbusters that rely only on explosions, using 1,000 rounds of ammo per minute while keeping a babe on each arm (and not a great aim on the target). Goslings' character to audience bond strengthens at the same time his plans are coming undone. The ability for this guy to be silent for most of the movie is what proves how great of an actor he is. When the momentum builds, there are scenes where no matter what is going on in the background, you cannot take your eyes off his face. The violence is almost beautiful as it gains speed, spirals out of control, and takes your breath away. The casting is superb, the soundtrack is spot-on and could not be more perfect. It has cars, girls, muscles, and fights. This is a REAL macho movie like you've rarely seen, and do you want to know why? These actors can really ACT! Imagine that. From the lead roles to the people you've never even heard of on this cast, every one of them has it right. All action movies should be like this and I, for one, hope there is a new trend of copying this style. I wouldn't complain about movie prices any more if they were all this good.
