classy & stylish...

Rating: 8/10 (10 October 2011)

I couldn't believe my eyes watching the sensitive romantic notebook guy getting to do some chilly acts which was stylish and raw. Vow, i just loved him, Ryan Gosling just went up in my books. The movie was an awesome watch with some catchy music throughout, very realistic screenplay and funky editing - the "vice-city" model titles in the beginning was fresh and aberrant.
The story about a stuntman doing "transporter" model getaways at nights,and leads an isolated life was so remarkably filmed, considering the fact that it was all without any trace of surrealism, whatsoever. True, Taxi Driver came to my mind at times - those on the road scenes, the traffic lights, the isolated life choice, and even wearing the mask which reminded me Robert De Niro's Mohawk hairstyle - it never hindered me from enjoying the movie, felt more like a classic being revisited with style! Carry Mulligan was just okay as the female lead, but a mother!! that didn't go down well with me - perhaps i still got memories afresh of a confused teenager in "An Education".
Car Movies are known for action, thrilling chases, and rocked up music. And if you need to watch one with some substance filled stylishness, Drive 2011 is a must watch, its classy and stylish..
