Drive Review

Rating: 9/10 (7 February 2012)

Drive hands down has to be one of the better movie's I've seen in a long time. I have to admit when I first sat down to watch it I thought I wasn't going to like it because it had Ryan Gosling in it and what seemed like the characteristics of another play off of Fast and the Furious. Oh boy was I wrong though. Ryan Gosling plays the character of a quiet mysterious guy who holds multiple jobs including a Hollywood stuntman driver, a mechanic, and a getaway driver. While working as a mechanic his boss wants to start a legitimate racing team with him as the driver and the team being funded by mob money. When he meets his cute neighbor he ends up somewhat falling for her however she is married and her husband is getting out of jail soon. When Ryan Gosling has to do a job for her husband unbeknownst to her everything goes downhill from there and that's when things get epically violent in some of the best violence I've seen in the longest time. This movie to me, screamed a classic 80's thriller and was just absolutely awesome. The film score that was put into this movie was just so great and put such an awesome flow to the movie throughout and wasn't overdone. I strongly recommend this movie to anyone that likes films in general.
