Understated, intense and surprisingly poignant

Rating: 10/10 (18 September 2011)

...just got back from seeing "DRIVE"...
Loved the performances from Carey Mulligan and Ryan Gosling. The things that they said with just a look, or a shifting of the lips, or even the touch of a smile.... One of my favourite on-screen romances of the past 5 years.
Great soundtrack. Great direction. Great cinematography and great performances all the way around (Albert Brooks gives a great turn, as does the always impressive Bryan Crantson!) Add to that some of the most intense, brilliantly shot car scenes that i can recall seeing.
What else could you ask for in a movie?
