Slick, edgy and artistic film that is awesome. Even the mass audiences will enjoy this film.

Rating: 9/10 (20 September 2011)

I heard that this movie is split from audiences that enjoyed it and those that didn't. I fall into the category of the audiences that enjoyed it. I really think this is a artistic movie that can reach out to the masses. Yeah it's a artistic movie but it just didn't seemed that forced and most of the way through it was engrossing. Yes, even the first half of the film. The second half is better but I thought the first half was pretty good and didn't seem boring to me. But even I gotta admit the first scene of this movie was one of the most awesome opening to a movie, it was cool while having a bit of tension to it. Ryan Gosling was really good in this and almost perfect for this role as the slick, quiet, reserved, cool and yet dangerous character. The rest of the cast is stunning as well and the 80's vibe was great, especially the music in this. Another thing that is stunning is how it's directed, there might not be that much going on but the way it's directed in a artistic old school manner makes it great. I also enjoyed how the characters sometimes uses the emotions of there body instead of dialogue to convey what they are feeling and thinking, especially with Ryan Gosling. Maybe I need to see this again but for the first watch it was awesome. If your one of those audiences that wants to see chase scenes similar to the "Fast and the Furious" movies or something along the lines of "Transporter" with it's ridiculousness might be left disappointed. This is a edgy and artistic flick that revolves around a character that is a stuntman by morning and a getaway driver by night. Just wish there was just one more cool drive scene near the end cause it just seemed to lack that although the title of this movie is "Drive". Anyways this movie proves that artistic movies can not only be compelling but fun as well.
9/10
