Magical

Rating: 10/10 (1 October 2011)

I've just watched this movie, didn't know what to expect. I saw the IMDb rating and knew i would not be disappointed. It was great! Mesmerizing. Magical. Loved the 80s style titles, the cars, and the whole retro look and feel of the movie. The slow pace and easy camera movement, calmness of the scenes and characters, especially the Driver, results in complete immersion of the viewer and makes the violent scenes even more violent and eerie. Superb acting on Ryan Gosling's part, he did a great job. Nicolas Winding Refn has a bright future ahead of him. I don't know why but i somehow think i felt the same after watching Spike Lee's Miracle At St.Anna. I am going to stop typing now. The Driver is downstairs and i don't want to keep him waiting...You really need to see this movie.
