Cruise Control.

Rating: 7/10 (4 May 2017)

The way Drive was shot was quite fascinating and Ryan Gosling with the utmost ease, provided extra magnetism to have you fully committed in following Ryan's character and seeing where and how this all ends.
The pace of this film was quite unexpected, and one would think that given the impression Drive gives, the pace it took would be too sedate, however, it wasn't. If anything, it was definitely far more thrilling and engaging that expected, though perhaps it was due to the fact that, even with it's very steady pace, Drive still did very well in cutting forward to relevant scenes, and leaving the rest to the wayside.
About Ryan's character's name, I didn't realize until the movie was over, as to what they did there, which just made me love it more.
The story is pretty simple, but still quite fresh. Carey Mulligan was very sweet and inviting in front of the camera, and the music was noticeably capturing.
How the movie ended, it is extremely arguable that it didn't need to go down in that fashion. In fact, the argument would lean more towards it being an unnecessary ending, than necessary.
Overall however, Drive shifted gears smoothly, and the ride was a well accomplished 5 minutes of cruise control.
7.4/10.
